jump-commands

Re implementation of some basic commands (ls, mv, cp) with autojump

For this command to work, you need to have autojump installed.

Installation

To use these functions, you need to clone the repo and add this line to your ~/.bashrc of ~/.zshrc file :

source PATH/TO/FILE/cmds.sh

mv command : jmv

The jmv command allows you to move a file or a folder to a destination specified using autojump.

jmv will also move your current position to the destination. This can be disabled by using the option -nocd.

Example :

Assuming autojump desk outputs ~/Desktop and that your current directory contains a folder foo and a file bar.txt

• jmv foo desk will move the folder foo to your Desktop and move your position to your Desktop

• jmv bar.txt desk will move the file bar.txt to your Desktop and move your position to your Desktop

• jmv foo bar.txt desk will move the folder foo and the file bar.txt to your Desktop and move your position to your Desktop

• jmv -nocd foo bar.txt desk will move the folder foo and the file bar.txt to your Desktop but won't change your current position

Note : jmv does not support yet the options of mv

ls command : lj

The behaviour of lj is the same as ls, except when the last argument is not an existing destination/path.

Example :

Assuming autojump desk outputs ~/Desktop and that your current directory contains a folder foo and a file bar.txt

• lj and lj . outputs foo bar.txt (same output as ls or ls .)

• lj foo will display the content of the directory foo (same as ls foo)

• lj desk will display the content of your Desktop (same as ls ~/Desktop)

All these commands also work if you add ls options to lj.
Example :

• lj -lia desk is equivalent to ls -lia ~/Desktop

• lj -lia foo is equivalent to ls -lia foo

If you want ls to work by default as lj you can add this alias in your rc file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.aliases etc) : alias ls='lj'
