fastdiract (fastdir + fastaction) is a pair of shell tools based on key-value storage for quick shell navigation and command execution.
Each tool saves directories/commands to one of 10 “memory” slots in a file for quick retrieval via 2-character aliases
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- fastdir – shell navigation tool to help you store and jump to your most frequently used directories (aka fastdirs), stored in slot
- fastaction – tool to save frequently executed commands, stored in slots f0-f9. To save a command to slot f7, run something like f7.
"echo hello there > myfile", making sure to wrap the command in double or single quotes. You can then execute the command easily by runningf7.
