Wow I’m just blown away by this.

Really cool trick to navigate directories fast I’m definitely going to add this to my .zshrc

Honestly commandline has made so many things easier for me that I don’t even use regular apps besides my browser for browsing web anyhow using commandline has really made me productive

And I always look for automating or making the workflow better

Anyways great post thanks for sharing:)

For Zsh, there are better stuff available. For example, you can use `cd +<tab>` to change to a past directory. And instead of aliases for `.....`, you can use:

    # Expand ... to ../..
    function vbe-expand-dot-to-parent-directory-path() {
      case $LBUFFER in
        (./..|* ./..) LBUFFER+='.' ;; # In Go: "go list ./..."
        (..|*[ /=]..) LBUFFER+='/..' ;;
        (*) LBUFFER+='.' ;;
      esac
    }
    zle -N vbe-expand-dot-to-parent-directory-path
    bindkey "." vbe-expand-dot-to-parent-directory-path
    bindkey -M isearch "." self-insert

Thanks for sharing this I’ll try this out
