I upvoted for this alone: Another neat short hand is !$ which is an alias for the last argument of the previous command. This can be handy if one creates a new directory and wants to change into it without typing the the directory again. So commands would be mkdir -p make/new/directory cd !$ You've no idea how many years I've been thinking "This is Linux fer gawd's sake. Surely there must be some easy way to make a n…
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf also has a “cd mode”, by default triggerable using Alt-C, which can be useful.

Typing Esc then . does the trick too.
I use `z` as a less manual way to search common directories instead of changing $CDPATH. It's based on 'frecency'. https://github.com/rupa/z
I use `autojump` (aliased as `j`), which sounds quite similar as it also records your most frequently visited directories. It's as simple as entering `j down` to enter /some/path/to/MyDownloadFolder.

I like the autocomplete, the fact that when cd-ing a known path you can just type the first leter of each directory with slashes, showing the git branch in working dir.
Its the little things.
