seedee

Navigate interactively through directories / history of visited directories using arrow keys from command line.
Compatibility : bash / ksh / zsh
(compatible macos / debian / centos / solaris / alpine ...)

• rapidily switch to already visited directories using interactive menu
• use locate (mlocate/plocate) to rapidly cd to any directory
• navigate interactively into directories/history using left/right arrow keys in menu
  • directly from command line without any cd command using shift-arrow keys (bash/zsh)
• cd autocompletion with interactive menu (bash)

for a complete next-gen shell experience, see also these projects:

• nerdps1 : auto-transportable dynamic PS1 prompt (you can see it in the demo)
• redo : replacement of shell history command search (Ctrl+R or Esc+/) with interactive menu
• complete-ng : nextgen bash completion with interactive menu

• using bash/zsh in emacs or vi mode, key binding is available as shortcuts:
  • default key binding with <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Arrows</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Arrows</kbd> (can be overridden using CD*BIND variables)

directory pattern can be put on command line before hitting shortcut to filter result
putting on command line : work and hitting <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>⇧</kbd> will bring you to last visited directory containing work

• using bash, <tab> cd auto completion can be enabled for cd command:
  • setting env variable CDCOMPLETE=y before sourcing seedee

keys when in menu

• filter pattern can be applied entering text
• selection can be done entering item number

usage

$ . ./seedee
$ cd <dir>
=> change to <dir> and add <dir> to $CDHISTFILE
$ cd --
=> display current history / choose dir to change
$ cd -- <pat>...
=> search pattern <pat> in current history, change to dir if unique, display / chose dir either
$ cd - <pat>...
=> search pattern <pat> in cd history, change to dir first matched
$ cd + [<pat>]...
=> display immediate subdirectories of cwd, search / choose dir to change (except dot dirs, like .git/*)
$ cd ++ [<pat>]...
=> display subdirectories until depth 4, search / choose dir to change (except dot dirs, like .git/*)
$ cdl <pat>...
=> use locate -r and get list of directories to switch

cd - <opts> cd -- <opts> cd + <opts> cd ++ <opts> are aliases to cd- cd-- cd+ cd++
