I can tell it's not going to be as good - because you know.. 4 letters vs 2. Jokes aside I don't think this provides anything over zsh or fish or another shell that supports directory and tab completion?
If you prefer something automatic that will learn from your own usage, have a look at https://github.com/clvv/fasd
If I want to end up in one of my folders, say my "pictures of dogs" folder, I'd just type "z dogs" into my shell and be there because it's part of the path and I visit it frequently.
If I want to work on that ruby script I was writing, I can just type "vim `f backup.rb`", or even just "vim `f back`".
If I know I have many folders that might fit the criterion (e.g. one of my many folders that end in .git/), I can just type "z -i .git" and pick from the frecent list... it's usually near the top because fasd is just magic like that.
I HIGHLY recommend that tool.

The problem with this is that it saves all the attribute as functions and messes up the .bashrc file. Eg: to save I use: goto -s while this program uses: s Mine is a little minimal, also, the shortcut thing is just an added feature. I just wanted to replicate the Sublime Texts, fuzzy search feature. I don't think bashmarks has fuzzy-find ??
Anyway I'll give goto a try because goto a_file_name could also be a killer feature. But a short name is also a good thing. I think I'll rename goto to some single letter, maybe t. I hope you don't mind.

bashmarks don't have fuzzy search but they have completion. g and I can see the 12 bashmarks I defined. No need to list them. Does goto has completion on bookmark names? That's a killer feature.

This looks cool. I’m going to give it a “check” on my Mac. EDIT: Appears to be working peachy on OS X 10.10.2 with zsh.
No man page! No Unix badge for you.

I cannot recommend fasd enough.

fasd is incredibly useful. Along with l aliased to "ls", it is the first thing I miss on foreign servers.

Also - if the purpose is to save as much typing as possible, why it isnt a bit shorter command than 'goto'? .)
