I use a similar trick but with aliases. If I want to cd to let's say "~/work/john/some-project" I just type 'fcd' on the console and then "w j s" and "ENTER".

I use a similar trick but with aliases. If I want to cd to let's say "~/work/john/some-project" I just type 'fcd' on the console and then "w j s" and "ENTER". Most of the times it work as expected and is really fast. This is a mode provided by a helper that I wrote for fzf to make it easier to use and more useful. In essence it's just a shell script with a bunch of fzf tricks pre-configured. https://github.com/danisztls/fzfx/ https://github.com/danisztls/fzfx/
