bm

Quickly jump to bookmarked places in your filesystem.

Requirements

• fzf
• exa (optional)

Install

If you have a ~/bin folder that is in your PATH, just run the following command after cloning this repo and cding into it:

ln -s $(realpath bm) ~/bin/bm

If you don't have a ~/bin folder, either create one and add it to your PATH or install bm in a folder that is in your PATH.

To add a keyboard shortcut for bm, add a line to your ~/.inputrc. The following example sets C-j to automatically pick a bookmark and cd into it:

"\C-j": "\C-ucd $(bm --expand)\C-m\C-l"

Or, if you use pushd:

"\C-j": "\C-upushd $(bm --expand)\C-m\C-l"
