What is z?

From the z GitHub page:

z tracks the directories you visit. With a combination of frequency and recency, it enables you to jump to the directory in mind.

Settings

  // Shell executable: "/bin/bash", "/usr/bin/zsh", "/usr/local/bin/fish"...
  // If empty then environment variable $SHELL is used.
  "shell": "",

  // Choices are:
  // 'best_match' — best match is used (z --echo <dirRegex>, no search)
  // 'list'       — list matches to choose from (z --list <dirRegex>, then search)
  // 'list_all'   — search list of directories based on 'frecency'. (z --list, then search)
  "mode": "list"

Usage

Open the command palate and search Z: Jump to directory and press enter. Depending on the mode setting you can either enter a directory RegEx or search a list of frequently and recently visited directories from command line z installation.

Keybindings

cmd/ctrl + shift + o: jump to directory using selected mode setting.
