Regarding the bash script [0] to jump to Johnny Decimal directories, you can also use the CDPATH feature that's built into bash (and other POSIX shells, including dash and zsh) so that you can jump directly to a category using the normal `cd` command, with tab completion:
$ CDPATH=$(find /path/to/cjd/* -maxdepth 0 -type d -print0 | xargs -0 printf "%s:")
$ cd 34[tab]
$ cd 34\ Events\34.[tab]
34.18 Product Launch
34.19 Company All-Hands
34.20 Holiday Party
$ cd 34\ Events\34.18[tab]
$ cd 34\ Events\34.18\ Product\ Launch

- pimlottc 6y agoGo for it! CDPATH is an underrated tool. You can do a simpler version and just set CDPATH=/path/to/cjd but then you'd have to tab through the e.g. "30-39" index directories first. Or you could change the path in the find command to /path/to/cjd/*/* and go to the final xx.yy directories directly, but it hardly saves you any keystrokes when you use tab completition.
