Due to changes in the way fish handles variable lookup the fish autojump integration stopped working with fish version 2.3. By exporting the needed variables globally it works also with fish 2.3. |

NAME
autojump - a faster way to navigate your filesystem
DESCRIPTION
autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line.
Directories must be visited first before they can be jumped to.
USAGE
j
is a convenience wrapper function around autojump
. Any option that
can be used with autojump
can be used with j
and vice versa.
-
Jump To A Directory That Contains
foo
:j foo
-
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.
jc bar
-
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:
jco images
-
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 change directory to /home/user/work/inbox.
For more options refer to help:
autojump --help
