I never used pushd and popd. Did not even know about them. But I use autojump it give directories a prioroty numbers and then you just have to type "j pro" and you cd into your projects folder for example. https://github.com/wting/autojump just looked at it again it also has a jc command for child directories and commands to open file explorer that I never used.

+1 for autojump since it's already in debian & ubuntu package repositories. Install with `apt install autojump` and add a line to your shell config file to load it. For Bash that means adding e.g. `source /usr/share/autojump/autojump.sh` to your .bashrc. Also works with zsh, fish, tcsh, clink.

This is great!

I wrote a very similar tool for myself a long time ago: “wd” or Working Directory. Uses similar numeric slots but also has named “schemes” and sets environment variables for your slots for you.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I use Yazi with all of those - it also has ripgrep integrated Between all of those it's hard to think of a better experience navigating a filesystem.

I also use yazi along with kitty. Unfortunately I did not find an (acceptable) way to simulate the behaviour of ddterm GNOME extension with kitty or alacritty. A dropdown Terminal with image protocol for file preview would be very cool.

Can you explain what this does? From screenshots I can't tell what the ddterm user experience is

I personally tend to wezterm nowadays, kitty breaks too many things, especially over tmux/ssh (or combination thereof and with zellij)

I'll also admit to liking iterm2 on macos a lot

ddterm is just a drop down terminal extension for gnome (like Guake or Yakuake). Dropdown means that it has an animation to drop from the top of your screen. You can configure it to be an overlay or pushing away the other windows.

I'm not really sure why I like it so much, but it feels natural.
