## OPTIONS

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

    -a, --add DIR       manually add path to database

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

    -s, --stat          show database entries and their key weights

    --version           show version information and exit

## INTERNAL OPTIONS

    -b, --bash          enclose directory with quotes to prevent errors

    --complete          used for tab completion

## ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION

- Enable ZSH Tab Completion

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

        autoload -U compinit; compinit

- 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.

## 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.

- ZSH Tab Completion

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

- Change Directory Weight

    To manually change a directory's key weight, you can edit the file
    _$XDG_DATA_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt_. Each entry has two columns. The
    first is the key weight and the second is the path:

        29.3383211216   /home/user/downloads

    All negative key weights are purged automatically.

## 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_.
