This slick tool saves you from typing absolute directory paths and can do spellchecking against the given name.

If you are like me and operate mostly through terminal, this tool might come handy. A big amount of time is spend on navigating in a directory structure jungle. Since most of the time I wander around same directories, it would be neat to have a way to change directory without typing the absolute path. Moreover, I was lacking a small hack project so Fast CD was born.

Purpose of the program is to deliver a fast way to navigate trough Unix directory structure. The weight is in frequently visited directories so that those can be easily accessed.

Find directory that has test in its name. Since there can be many search results we will like to choose which one was intended:

fcd -a test

• Write SIGWINCH handler

• Replace %q -> %Q

• Open as readonly when reading

• Implement basic functionality

• Separate databases for /usr/, /home/, and /var/ and custom directory

• Functions to handle add/remove of a dir

• Favourites / Frequently visited / Tags

• Spellcheck (needs improvements though)

• Implement directory walk

• Implement getopt functionality

• Show current item number / total items / (MAX_ITEMS)

Things I might consider at some point.

• UTF8 support

• Support for configuration file?

• Use file descriptors to pass data around?
