# Dirhistory plugin |
|
|
|
This plugin adds keyboard shortcuts for navigating directory history and hierarchy. |
|
|
|
To use it, add `dirhistory` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: |
|
|
|
```zsh |
|
plugins=(... dirhistory) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Keyboard Shortcuts |
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Description | |
|
|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| |
|
| <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>left</kbd> | Go to previous directory | |
|
| <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>right</kbd> | Undo <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>left</kbd> | |
|
| <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>up</kbd> | Move into the parent directory | |
|
| <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>down</kbd> | Move into the first child directory by alphabetical order | |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
This plugin allows you to navigate the history of previous current-working-directories using ALT-LEFT and ALT-RIGHT. ALT-LEFT moves back to directories that the user has changed to in the past, and ALT-RIGHT undoes ALT-LEFT. MAC users may alternately use OPT-LEFT and OPT-RIGHT. |
|
|
|
Also, navigate directory **hierarchy** using ALT-UP and ALT-DOWN. (mac keybindings not yet implemented). ALT-UP moves to higher hierarchy (shortcut for 'cd ..'). ALT-DOWN moves into the first directory found in alphabetical order (useful to navigate long empty directories e.g. java packages) |
|
|
|
For example, if the shell was started, and the following commands were entered: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
cd ~ |
|
cd /usr |
|
cd share |
|
cd doc |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Then entering ALT-LEFT at the prompt would change directory from /usr/share/doc to /usr/share, then if pressed again to /usr/, then ~. If ALT-RIGHT were pressed the directory would be changed to /usr/ again. |
|
|
|
After that, ALT-DOWN will probably go to /usr/bin (depends on your /usr structure), ALT-UP will return to /usr, then ALT-UP will get you to / |
|
|
|
**Currently the max history size is 30**. The navigation should work for xterm, PuTTY xterm mode, GNU screen, and on MAC with alternate keys as mentioned above.
