jump (https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump) is something I use as I didn’t know about Alt-C. Highly recommended

I’m exactly in the same boat, after using both programs for years. Now I wonder if I can or should unlearn my j muscle memory.

    I just type in a fuzzy match for some of the directories I have visited. For example, if I know I frequently visit `/users/elahmo/developer/project`, if I type `j pro` I know it will jump there most of the time. If I type `j project`, it will jump 99% of the time. So it is quite good to cycle between things you often open, but of course you can reach things that are in the history it builds.

Jump's database is empty. This could mean: 1. You are running jump for the first time. Have you integrated jump with your shell? Run the following command for help: $ jump shell If you have run the integration, enter a few directories in a new shell to populate the database. Are you coming from autojump or z? You can import their existing scoring databases into jump with: $ jump import Doesn't work afaik / Tried all doesn't work how do you set this up @elAhmo

  I didn't have to do any manual setup, I used it on ~three machines so far. Maybe something is odd with your shell? Which one do you use? I have seen other people suggesting https://github.com/wting/autojump https://github.com/wting/autojump too, so it might be worth giving that tool a look, it seems supported a bit better and more actively developed.

I use autojump (very similar). Now combine the two: autojump and fzf. Basically look at all the directories in the jump database and pass that to fzf (sorted by frequency). You'll be amazed at what an improvement that is. I've bound it to Alt-j on my shell. I use it a ton more than Alt-c.
