zsh-dir-scroller

Directory stack scroller for ZSH

How it works?

It uses the ZSH's own directory stack functions pushd and popd.

When you use _dir_scroller_prev your current directory (top off the ZSH's stack) is popd into another stack, created by the plugin. When you use _dir_scroller_next, the directory from the top of the plugin's stack is pushd into ZSH's stack.

When you cd to another directory, the plugin's stack is emptied.

Install

Install with your favorite plugin manager. Or manually if that's your cup of tea.

zplug "sevanteri/zsh-dir-scroller"

Configuration

Add key bindings to your liking. Here's a couple of examples:

# alt + left arrow and alt + right arrow
bindkey "^[[1;3D" _dir_scroller_prev
bindkey "^[[1;3C" _dir_scroller_next

# or for vi command mode
bindkey -M vicmd 'H' _dir_scroller_prev
bindkey -M vicmd 'L' _dir_scroller_next

If zle's reset-prompt is not enough, list prompt redraw functions the following way:

export DIR_SCROLLER_RESETS=(prompt_pure_preprompt_render some_other_reset_func)
