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