Here is a video of autojump in action : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnNyoMGnbKg

Seems like an interesting tool indeed, is anyone using it?

I gave it a try a year or so ago because I just *love* these productivity hacks, but it wouldn't fit my mind.  The idea itself is great, but for some indescribable reason I didn't feel comfortable with it.

An alternative for speedy dir hopping that does work for me is the cdpath option in zsh[1].  A short-ish description for those that don't know cdpath follows...

For example, in zsh:  cdpath=(~/Projects /var/lib/repos)
And with bash(zsh too if you prefer this syntax):  CDPATH=~/Projects:/var/lib/repos

From then on cd from any location will allow you to jump to ~/Projects/runkeeper with just `cd runkeeper`.  It works reasonably well, including tab completion.  zsh definitely allows you to choose whether/how you see the cdpath results in completion lists [2],  but I don't know if bash lets you choose.

*Edit*:  I'll stop posting these overly long comments Real Soon Now™ ;)

I have been playing with it for a few minutes this afternoon but have been annoyed by the fact you have to enter a directory manually with "cd" for autojump to store it in its cache.

The cdpath sounds like a more interesting alternative. Actually I started to dig into zsh a few months ago and it showed lots of promise, I especially loved the built in pager! :)

PS : I hope you will *KEEP* posting these informative comments :)
