I’ve used “bashmarks” for this for years: https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks
Super handy. This looks like it might be more polished version.

#12oh man, i had no idea stuff like this (or pushd/popd existed). i’ve been writing so much ugly bash to do this myself… whoops

#13I end up using $CDPATH a lot for initial movement. While it's probably not as comprehensive as this, I find it and something like zoxide can cover a lot of ground.

#14I have a utility called ZSH Autosuggestions, and it's probably one of the most useful things on my computer. It shows you a sort of preview of the most recent command you typed that matches the prefix of the current command you are typing. It's basically an automatic tool that bookmarks commands based on usage. I think the best bookmark systems are ones which simply track your entire history and suggest relevant page…
This is essentially a fish built-in. I used to use zsh before, but since changing to fish I've never looked back. Auto completion, abbreviations, better syntax, and especially the auto complete is like magic. It also seems to "know" in which working directories some commands work and won't suggest them if they arent.
Agreed, zsh autocompletions are noticeably worse than fish and is precisely why when I switched to fish it was over

This is also a `bash` (or rather any `readline` app) builtin.
$ cat .inputrc
set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi-command
k: history-search-backward
j: history-search-forward

#16I use https://github.com/jarun/nnn/ with `cd` on quit if I need to scan around manually. Otherwise, zoxide.

I don’t even have to type anything in fish. It automatically shows prefix completions.
Fish really is amazing and it really is worth the minor transition costs.

#19I really like "jump" which I have aliased to "j". It auto learns and you can also pin shortcut names so I don't have to fuss configuring it but also can control certain ones. Great trade off between usability and configurability. Can't find the repo but "brew install jump" works :)

Agreed! „z“ and atuin (https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin) cover most of my needs.

#20It’s kind of funny (in a good way) how there’s already been about 10 other ways mentioned in the comments! We do seem to love our directory navigation tools :)
