How can regular expressions be used as parameters? #79

Closed fresswolf closed 5 years ago

fresswolf commented 5 years ago

In the examples and test cases I don't see any regular expressions used. Can they be used? How would I jump to a path ending with foo? (not matching /path/foobar but matching /path/foo and /path/foofoo)

z can't be used that way, if you want to jump to a specific folder matching a string, consider using tab complete z foo <TAB> should contain the folder you want in the completion list.

Ok thanks for the clarification, I think I can live with that. I just wondered if it was possible because the documentation names the command's arguments "regex1" and "regex2". This is misleading and should be renamed in my opinion

Right, yes my bad, thanks for the report!
