RFE: DIR_PUSHD

RFE: DIR_PUSHD

[Dave Yost]

AUTO_CD is nice, but I find it would usually be better if "executing" 
a directory would instead pushd to that directory.

The obvious name for such an option would be AUTO_PUSHD, but that 
name is already in use for something else.

The naming problem shouldn't stand in the way of this needed feature. 
Call it what you will. It will get used.

I propose
   DIR_PUSHD

You could also offer its analog,
   DIR_CD
and deprecate
   AUTO_CD
which is confusing in its nonparallelism with AUTO_PUSHD

Thanks

Dave

Perhaps I'm missing something, but does AUTO_PUSHD in conjunction with
AUTO_CD not already do what you want?  That's what I always set, and I'm
a happy pushd-er.

If I set both AUTO_CD and AUTO_PUSHD, then
 1. If I execute a dir, zsh will pushd to that dir, so far, so good.
 2. If I say "cd /tmp", zsh will pushd to /tmp, not desired behavior

I want only #1

How about
function cd() {
  setopt localoptions noautopushd
  builtin cd "$@"
}
