Another trick I learned from an older HN comment is to create a .marks directory in your home directory and then add the following to your .zshrc export MARKPATH=$HOME/.marks function jump { cd -P $MARKPATH/$1 2>/dev/null || echo "No such mark: $1" } function mark { mkdir -p $MARKPATH; ln -s $(pwd) $MARKPATH/$1 } function unmark { rm -if "$MARKPATH/$1" } function marks { ls -l $MARKPATH | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | sed 's/ -/ -/g' && echo } function _marks { reply=($(ls $MARKPATH)) } compctl -K _marks jump compctl -K _marks unmark Now to remember a directory you type % mark <any_string> and to jump to that directory you type % jump <any_string> To list all your shortcuts % marks Depending on the version of ls you might have to change the -f9 parameter to -f8 for marks functions
