Fasd
fasd is a frecency-based path navigator and POSIX shell productivity tool designed to accelerate navigation between files and directories. It functions as a command-line wrapper that resolves shorthand queries into absolute paths by ranking results based on how often and how recently they have been accessed.
The utility uses fuzzy string matching and case-insensitive lookups to resolve partial directory and file names. It can also import access history from external backends, such as text editors and desktop environments, to refine the accuracy of its ranking database.
The tool provides shell integration for tab completion and path expansion, allowing users to jump to directories or launch external applications and editors directly on matched files. These capabilities focus on reducing keystrokes during command-line navigation and automation.
Features

- Frecency-Based Ranking - Implements a ranking algorithm that combines access frequency and recency to determine the most likely target path.
- Frecency-Based Navigators - Locates and opens files or directories using a ranking algorithm based on access frequency and recency.
- Command Line Completions - Provides dynamic shell completion for matching files and directories via tab completion.
- Command Line Navigation Tools - Facilitates rapid directory switching and filesystem traversal through shorthand queries in the terminal.
- File Path Locators - Provides the ability to locate files and directories based on frecency and fuzzy matching.
- Fuzzy Matching Utilities - Resolves shorthand queries into full paths using fuzzy string matching regardless of case or exact character ordering.
- Quick Directory Jumpers - Changes the current working directory to the most recently accessed directory matching a query.
- Frequency-Based Path Ranking - Implements a system for ranking filesystem paths based on access frequency and recency.
- Shell Lifecycle Hooks - Uses shell hooks and tab-completion scripts to monitor directory changes and intercept user input.
- Shell Productivity Tools - Enhances navigation and interaction within command-line shell environments using shorthand queries.
- Shell Productivity Enhancements - Integrates with POSIX shell environments to improve navigation and interactive efficiency through path expansion.
- Shell Integration - Hooks into POSIX shell environments to provide path navigation, completions, and usage tracking.
- Fuzzy Shell Completions - Provides fuzzy-matched completion for shell commands and directory paths.
- CLI Tab Completions - Suggests matching files and directories via tab completion in the shell to accelerate navigation.
- Path Shorthand Expanders - Expands shorthand queries into full paths during command entry using tab completion or custom keybindings.
- External Data Importers - Loads file access data from external formats (like editor logs) into the internal ranking system.
- Access History Tracking - Records and recalls a history of recently opened files and folders from external sources for navigation.
- External Application Integrations - Launches a specified external application or editor directly on the most frequently used file matching a search.
- System Access History Integrations - Imports accessed path data from system backends like Spotlight, GTK, or Vim history to expand the search index.
- History Importers - Imports file access history from text editors and desktop environments to refine path ranking accuracy.
