https://github.com/clvv/fasd I used to use z, but I've since switched to fasd. It's much like z, but also so much better. In addition to being able to do "z " you can do "f ". So, for example, if I've got a rails project I've worked on a lot recently I know its config.ru is high on frecency, so I'll just do "vim `f config`" to edit that file. If I want a file that's not so recent I can always do "vim `f -i config`" t…

I put z and fasd through their paces, and out of the box z works very intuitively. I like it. fasd takes a little more to get used to, but I'm going to put it through a full try out. Let's see if the additional features make it worth the while. In either case, thanks all for a great thread.

I've converted a few people to the z side. And yes, it is wonderful. [Disclaimer: rupa is a good friend of mine, as well]

I was pretty excited about original link in this HN submission, but now I'm roughly twice as excited to learn about z. Love it. [Disclaimer: I don't know rupa at all]
