I use this Rust clone which works great, no complaints: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Although, I don't know what the difference is, other than the language of choice.

The README is an order of magnitude more useful. The man page aesthetic of z's README hits me in the feels, but I prefer the better documentation of zoxide.

Zoxide’s zi command does an interactive z. It is one of my favorite commands

Thanks for this! I had no idea zoxide has this! Made my day.

Fuzziness does not seem to be on point for me though, any tips? If I want to `cd` into a directory called `something-with-dashes`, if I do `zi` and then start with `smtw` (omitting the `-`), it doesn't find it. Only when I add `-` it shows up.

Sadly, no :(. I always just look for exact substrings. Might be worth trying to get working though…

I used to use z, then z from omz but eventually switched fo zoxide because it also works on PowerShell.

It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

biggest difference is probably that it works on Windows, which is something that I really appreciate about most of the Rust clones. Almost all of them are pretty platform agnostic.

Came to post zoxide. Also if you use `ranger`[1] (vim inspired file manager) then you might like to add the `ranger-zoxide` plugin[2].
