## 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_.
