    Honestly I haven’t tried this on Linux yet, but didn’t Windows implement this somewhere along the way?..

    cd ....

      I aliased cd to a custom funtion in my bashrc to do this at one point, but cd ../../../.. is too engrained so I never rembered to use it.

        Interesting, I might have to check that out someday.

        Though when I write scripts, I’m not a fan of blind folder navigation like that, there’s a good reason for the pushd and popd script commands.

          Oh yeah, I wouldn’t use that for scripts. I wouldn’t use zsh for scripts either.
          I mean, I believe, it’s generally compatible with bash, but just throwing a shebang like #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash into the first line of the script will make it execute with sh or bash, even when you run it from zsh.

    The history of the CTO at a previous job was filled with dc and sl because he was a fucking moron. Yes I’m still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.

    The good thing about Dolphin is you can have the real tree following your navigation. Want to go up a few levels, just click once, directly where you want to go next. None of this up, up, up nonsense. Great for snooping in many different folders in quick succession.

      The first two options (autocd and cdspell) have been a lifesaver in fixing my frustrations with the default bash settings (and even lets me stick with bash, instead of feeling I should move to zsh or any other shell.

      I can just type a foldername, tabcomplete it and press enter to go there. It’s great.

    Why no cd /////// speceficterm if you know how deep it is

    Those are supposed to be stars. I’m not fixing this on a phone

    Easiest solution, use fish instead of bash! Default fish keybindings will allow you to just type . . or name a directory similar to how you could do with Zoxide.

    Also, wait until you find about pushd and popd ;)
