## OPTIONS

Options must be passed to 'autojump' and not the 'j' wrapper function.

    -i, --increase      manually increase current directory weight

    -d, --decrease      manually decrease current directory weight

    --purge             deletes database entries that no longer exist on system

    -s, --stat          show general stats and top 100 database entries

    --version           show version information and exit

ADVANCED USAGE
--------------

-   Using Multiple Arguments

    Let's assume the following database:

        30   /home/user/mail/inbox
        10   /home/user/work/inbox

    `j in` would jump into /home/user/mail/inbox as the higher weighted
    entry. However you can pass multiple arguments to autojump to prefer
    a different entry. In the above example, `j w in` would then jump
    you into /home/user/work/inbox.

-   Jump To A Child Directory.

    Sometimes it's convenient to jump to a child directory (sub-directory of
    current directory) rather than typing out the full name.

-   Open File Manager To Directories (instead of jumping)

    Instead of jumping to a directory, you can open a file explorer window (Mac
    Finder, Windows Explorer, GNOME Nautilus, etc) to the directory instead.

    Opening a file manager to a child directory is also supported.

ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION
------------------------

-   Enable ZSH Tab Completion

    ZSH tab completion requires the `compinit` module to be loaded.
    Please add the following line to your \~/.zshrc *after* loading autojump:

        autoload -U compinit && compinit

    For security compinit checks completion system if files will be owned by
    root or the current user. This check can be ignored by using the -u flag:

        autoload -U compinit && compinit -u

    Tab completion requires two tabs before autojump will display the
    completion menu. However if `setopt nolistambiguous` is enabled,
    then only one tab is required.

-   Always Ignore Case

    Default behavior is to prioritize exact matches over all else. For
    example, `j foo` will prefer /foobar over /FooBar even if the latter
    has a higher weight. To change this behavior and ignore case, add
    the following environmental variable in your \~/.bashrc:

        export AUTOJUMP_IGNORE_CASE=1

-   Prevent Database Entries' Decay

    Default behavior is to decay unused database entries slowly over
    time. Eventually when database limits are hit and maintenance is
    run, autojump will purge older less used entries. To prevent decay,
    add the following variable in your \~/.bashrc:

        export AUTOJUMP_KEEP_ALL_ENTRIES=1

-   Prefer Symbolic Links

    Default behavior is to evaluate symbolic links into full paths as to
    reduce duplicate entries in the database. However, some users prefer
    a shorter working directory path in their shell prompt. To switch
    behavior to prefer symbolic links, add the following environmental
    variable in your \~/.bashrc:

        export AUTOJUMP_KEEP_SYMLINKS=1

-   Autocomplete Additional Commands (Bash only)

    Autojump can be used to autocomplete other commands (e.g. cp or
    vim). To use this feature, add the following environmental variable
    in your \~/.bashrc:

        export AUTOJUMP_AUTOCOMPLETE_CMDS='cp vim'

    Changes require reloading autojump to take into effect.

## KNOWN ISSUES

- For bash users, autojump keeps track of directories as a pre-command hook by
  modifying $PROMPT_COMMAND. If you overwrite $PROMPT_COMMAND in ~/.bashrc you
  can cause problems. Don't do this:

        export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a"

    Do this:

        export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND ;} history -a"

- The jump function `j` does not support directories that begin with `-`. If you
  want to jump a directory called `--music`, try using `j music` instead of `j
  --music`.

## FILES

If installed locally, autojump is self-contained in _~/.autojump/_.

The database is stored in _$XDG_DATA_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt_.
