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, export the following configuration in your ~/.bashrc:
export AUTOJUMP_KEEP_SYMLINKS=1
- 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.
