Description

Hi, thank you for the best way to navigate the shell!
I feel that a few small features would improve it even further:

  • z (no args) should cd $HOME, like cd would. (I have enhanced on so I thought it would emulate cd completely).

  • z + to cycle directory stack (my favourite thing is the pushd/popd feature you have!), a fast way to cycle through directories in order would be great!

  • I love z -b but I already use a bash script that can do this but also by number, e.g:

~/this/is/my/current/directory
$ up 4

$ pwd
~/this

It also does this too:

~/info/data/data/info
$ up o/d

$ pwd
~/info/data

Then not only would you be the best way to navigate the shell, but also the simplest, most intuitive way too!
Thank you again!
