This is useful when moving back and forth between directories in development environments, and can be thought of as kind of a nondestructive pushd/popd. +## dirhistory +**Maintainer:** [jeffwilliams][jeffwilliams] + +This plugin allows you to navigate the history of previous current-working-directories using ALT-LEFT and ALT-RIGHT. ALT-LEFT moves back to directories that the user has changed to in the past, and ALT-RIGHT undoes ALT-LEFT. + +For example, if the shell was started, and the following commands were entered: + +cd ~ +cd /usr +cd share +cd doc + +Then entering ALT-LEFT at the prompt would change directory from /usr/share/doc to /usr/share, then if pressed again to /usr/, then ~. If ALT-RIGHT were pressed the directory would be changed to /usr/ again. + +Currently the max history size is 100. The navigation should work for xterm, PuTTY xterm mode, and GNU screen. + ## dirpersist **Maintainer:** [robbyrussell][robbyrussell]
