deterministic autojump #315

Open arolle opened 10 years ago

I’d like to see autojump being deterministic. An Example, what this means: Assume (as in the wiki) the following stats

96.9:   /home/joel/workspace/autojump
141.8:  /home/joel/workspace/vv

after j work the current working directory is /home/joel/workspace/vv. Entering j work again thereafter one would jump to /home/joel/workspace/autojump. I’d prefer to always be jumped to the same directory, even though it yet is the present working directory.

This could be achieves by some extra option (and maybe an alias for it).

You could then use this option for your own alias.

I'm not inclined to change this since I find the current behavior useful.

The problem is with the 'jo' command. When you're sitting in one of the "known" directories and use the 'jo' command (e.g., 'jo current-dir'), it will open a file manager on the other known directory.

Please add a deterministic flag so it doesn't jump between directories. The 'jo' and 'jco' aliases will thank you.
