Has zsh a way of jumping to a directory as Quicksilver does in OS X?

Has zsh a way of jumping to a directory as Quicksilver does in OS X?

[Leonardo Barbosa]

Hello all,

I was wondering whether is a command that makes you jump to directory
by passing as argument part of the path of this directory. For
example, as QuickSilver does in OS X or launchy does in Windows
systems. They index your whole path and stores information based on
you recently use to display suggestions.

Thanks

Leo

There are lots, although I tend to think that if your heirarchy is so complex
it's hard to navigate, that's probably the bottleneck:

There is fasd https://github.com/clvv/fasd, I'm using it all the time.
It's available as a module for oh-my-zsh and prezto if you use those,
but it's pretty trivial to set up manually. I highly recommend it.

Zsh is already so capable at cd-/pushd-ing around. I worked on an
overview of this a while back and was going to post/record it someday,
somewhere, so I'll stick into a gist  for now.

be cool but maybe overkill if workflow/locations are well enough
organized?)
