This tool is amazing, sweet etc., I didn't even realize how miserable I was without it.
In fact, if I had known how inefficient cd-ing really was (which I couldn't have known, since I haven't had used j back then), I would do something drastic. Fortunately, this is not Terminator 3 and I'm not my own son sent to the past by my father to have a kid with my mother (or something like that), and the knowledge of inefficiency of cd came _after_ using j for the first time, I'm not angry at myself at all.
Anyway it is a must-have for any Archer! Why not include it in here?

Thanks a lot for your kind message! As autojump's main author, I must say I fully approve your proposal

For those who like autojump, I just wanted to mention that I've added support for multiple patterns now, which means you can type for example

j 3 site

to match "/usr/lib/python3/site-packages" for example. It even works with bash completion!

I haven't made a formal release yet, so it's not yet in arch, but those who can't wait can pull from the git repo directly

I still can't get the autocompletion to work in zsh... is anyone using it?

lardon · 2010-10-03 18:59:41

Why don't you file a bug (an issue) on github? I'll try to help you out. As far as I know, quite a few people use autojump with zsh without serious problems.

lardon · 2010-10-08 09:35:35

I've just released a new version, which fixes quite a few bugs. Get it while it's hot!!

(or wait for the pacman upgrade :-))

Everyone who's still using Autojump may want to tru z-jump available right at your nearest AUR

Why 'still' using? Autojump is not obsolete you know...

Why change? Autojump does exactly what I want.

@msx:
If you ever want to advertize, at least tell us what the main differences are, why we should care.
And please don't hijack threads.

This. Is. Great.

Wou-Wouu, take it easy!
I apologize for lack of information so here it goes: Z-Jump [0] is the continuation of J and J2, both works derived from Autojump (by Joel Schaerer aka joelthelion).
The reason why I'm posting about it is to help somebody else stranded like me with a *broken* Autojump. After installing a shiny new Arch few days ago I can't make Autojump work - which it's rather strange since it was working fine before.
After heading to author's GIT and checking the notice about 'broken' package in Arch I tried downloading latest Autojump but it won't work too.
Then searching the AUR I found about this clone that do the same thing and works smooth.

So no advertising here neither hijacking, just the will to help fellow archers: please, take it easy man, life's still beautiful :D
Cheers

Yeah, my bad! Everything''s explained above, sorry, I too love Autojump!

lardon · 2011-02-07 07:29:31

No problem, I didn't want to sound aggressive either. Just wanted to point out that it's not autojump that was broken, but arch Anyways, the bug has been marked as fixed; I'm not sure if the fix has been released through the mirrors yet, but it should be a matter of days now.

Hi,

I recently installed the autojump package on ubuntu 11.10 but it doesn't seem to work even after doing 'source /etc/profile ~/.bashrc'

Anyone able to help please?

Edit: nvm I had to source autojump.sh in my .bashrc

Latest version of autojump doesn’t work here (with zsh). I think it may be due to:

autojump /usr/etc/profile.d/
autojump /usr/etc/profile.d/autojump.bash
autojump /usr/etc/profile.d/autojump.sh

Shouldn’t this be /etc/profile.d/?

autojump 21.0.3-1
zsh 5.0.0-3

Edit: autojump.zsh is also missing. Downgrading to autojump-20-2 makes it work again.

There is a bug report about this latest version.

AncientPC · 2012-11-23 14:44:45

lardon and I are the devs for autojump.

Not sure how active Jaroslav Lichtblau (Dragonlord) is with updating the package. Using autojump-git package or source version is encouraged

@AncientPC - Just build autojump-git but it fails to work at all (using zsh):

% j
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/autojump", line 461, in <module>
    if not shell_utility(): sys.exit(1)
  File "/usr/bin/autojump", line 399, in shell_utility
    db = Database(DB_FILE)
  File "/usr/bin/autojump", line 79, in __init__
    self.load()
  File "/usr/bin/autojump", line 117, in load
    if sys.version > (2, 6):
TypeError: unorderable types: str() > tuple()
autojump: directory '' not found
Try `autojump --help` for more information.
