quick folder access on Linux (akin to Launchy)
- by Eli Bendersky
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?
