Launchy is a great piece of software, I use it on Windows mainly for quickly accessing folders. I love its auto-indexing in the background, and hardly ever browse through folders manually these days, solves me lots of time.

On Linux (Ubuntu 9.10), I usually "live" in the terminal, however. Therefore, Launchy on Linux (or Gnome Do, or its other replacements) are not what I need - as it opens the file manager, and I don't need the file manager.

What I do need is something that indexes my folders and lets me cd into them quickly in the terminal. For example:

mycd python_c

Will cd to:

~/dev/scripts/python_code

I hope my intention is understood :-)

Are you familiar with such tools?
