- Q: Is there another projects like this?
- A: Probably, yes.
- Q: So why you need yet another bicycle?
- A: Cause my solution more flexible and simple. :)
- Q: What do you mean?
- A1: Flexible - It should work in any POSIX complatible environment, with any sh compatible shell (checked in sh,bash,zsh,dash). It works also in mc, vim, and any other environment friendly applications, or can be used in your working scripts. And you can easy extend it if you need.
- A2: Simple - it's just one shell function and one external script (if you need GUI for your bookmarks and you have dmenu installed in your system).
Q: OK, I'll give it a try. How I can use it?
A: just add bookmarks.sh in you shell profile ". /path/to/bookmarks.sh" to define functions and use it like this:
$ cd /some/long/long/long/path/to/my_project $ bookmark my_project # create bookmark $ cd ~ $ cd $my_p<TAB> # use it
- Q: How I can view my bookmarks
- A: just call: bookmarks function from shell
- Q: I want more than one example. Where I can use it?
- A1: In vim: :e $my_pro<TAB>
- A2: In mc: in hotlist bookmarks or just cd $my_project
- A3: There is also interactive navigation over bookmarks if you has dmenu installed in your system - fag (fast go) script
- Q: How to setup shortcuts to use fag script with my shell?
- A: It's shell related, but for zsh it looks like:
# add it to your ~/.zshrc # Meta-C call fag (fast go) script bindkey -s "^[c" "fag^M" # you can change path to fag script here if you need it
