There are a lot of different options to choose from to help out with these issues:

  • Use aliases

    • Both for commonly used directories, e.g. alias q='/home/durrantm/Dropbox/95_2014/work/code/ruby__rails/ruby/ruby_quiz' and also for common commands. Even alias p=pwd makes life easier when you type pwd a hundred times a day. You'll notice that one letter aliases are a favorite trick of mine.
  • Use ctrl-p within vim (if you use vim) as indicated and shown by muru

  • Install and use autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump) to remember your visited command line directories. This may be perfect for you.
