Expedient way to move around the Linux CLI

What about instead of 'add' use '+' ? Less typing and quicker in creating bookmarks. Also '-' for deleting ones that are no longer used. Not sure it would be of any use but I would like to see where I have jumped too, meaning possibly echo pwd so I am aware of exactly where I am.

Quickly coded this

function jarvis_delete {
  echo "Type an alias you wish to delete, or ^C to quit:"
  read delete_alias
  # now find the alias you wish to delete
  sed -i "/^${delete_alias}=/d" $JARVIS_HOME"/.jarvis"
}
....
# add to case
 "-") jarvis_delete;;

oh nice, didn't think of that! + makes a lot of sense. I'm going to put in "echo $PWD" and "+". The "-" will take slightly more effort, but I'll do that one soon too.

See above post ....

I even color coded the cwd! lol...

aguo@unix4:~$ j ml
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr9/aguo/Documents/10605
aguo@unix4:~/Documents/10605$

except that /afs/[...] is color coded in blue

It has been suggested that this thread might more easily be handled in a private email exchange, with a summary posted here instead of the running dialog.
Do what makes sense.
