Raw Blame History

OPTIONS

Options must be passed to 'autojump' and not the 'j' wrapper function.

-a, --add DIR       manually add path to database

--stat              show database entries and their key weights

--version           show version information and exit

INTERNAL OPTIONS

-b, --bash          enclose directory with quotes to prevent errors

--complete          used for tab completion

ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION

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
```
Prevent Database Entries' Decay

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:
```
  export AUTOJUMP_KEEP_ALL_ENTRIES=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
```

ADVANCED USAGE

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.

KNOWN ISSUES

zsh (bug #86)

Tab completion does not work.
jumpapplet (bug #59)

Does not work in Gnome 3 shell or LDXE.

FILES

If installed locally, autojump is self-contained in ~/.autojump/.

The database is stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/autojump/autojump.txt.
