Description

https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/wiki/Effective-with-fzf#define-a-new-z--i

function zii() {
    local $dir="$(z -l "$@"|fzf --nth 2.. --reverse --inline-info --tac +s -e --height 35%)"
    [ -n "$dir" ] && cd "$dir"
}

In bash it fails like this:

bash: local: `=134         /var/tmp': not a valid identifier

This works for me:

function zii() {
    local dir="$(z -l "$@"|fzf --nth 2.. --reverse --inline-info --tac +s -e --height 35%)"
    [ -n "$dir" ] && cd "$(echo $dir | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
}
