https://github.com/junegunn/fzf also has a “cd mode”, by default triggerable using Alt-C, which can be useful.



Binding Ctrl-R to `fzf` for fuzzy history search is a killer feature.


Yeah this is one of the first things I install on a new machine along with zoxide


In my opinion this replaces (and even does a much better job i.e. less typing in the end, less commands to remember) almost everything in the article, especially when combined with https://github.com/rupa/z/. (or the PS counterpart ZLocation). Might be the type of work of course, but ever since I started using this I can go by weeks without needing to manually type cd. After all most of my time is spent in the same directories anyway. And if not, I'm really not manually going to type it, not even tab it, if it can be fuzzy matched since that is nearly always faster. tldr; people do yourself a favor and stop cd'ing around.
