Z v Zoxide...

[b9Joker108]

Hi

As your project commenced in 2009, was it the inspiration for Zoxide? The functionality of both projects appears largely commensurate, even if the implementations differ.

Thanks for your code!

Cheers

From the extended description

zoxide is a smarter cd command, inspired by z and autojump.

zoxide looks pretty interesting

I only knew about zoxide before seeing this...This is written in sh so is probably slower in comparison, anyways the idea itself is awesome

Long time Z user and recently I started playing with zoxide.. found some weird things but one in particular is this:

1. Create a random dir structure
   mkdir -p ~/foo/2025/barrbaz

2. Access it w/ cd so DB files update
   cd ~/foo/2025/barrbaz

3. It now shows up in Z but in Zoxide seems to be partially there

• With Z I could z 2025<tab> and I get in there

• With zoxide I could enter z barrbaz<space><tab> but it doesn't seem to work for a dir in the middle like z 2025<space><tab>

I really like the first one, this is useful when I forget the dir structure and I use the FzF to get there. And I just need to hit a single <tab> for completion.

Not sure this is a bug or feat on Zoxide but the FzF fuzzy searching feels a bit better on Z.

Performance wise I see no difference at all between them on my M1 16GB. Score system on Zoxide tho seems quite interesting.

Right now I have both installed to better test and understand them (specially Zoxide) but so far I keep using Z more often.
