## 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

-   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_.
