Welcome 0.30.0 in your lives. 🙌 Here's what changed:
XDG Config
Jump now stores its config in XDG compatible way. The search algorithm tries the directories in order:
$JUMP_HOME(if given)$HOME/.jump(if already exists)$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jump(preferred for new installs)
We're moving towards XDG, but for existing installs or non-XDG supported systems, the ~/.jump dir will be used.
Settings
Jump is opinionated and we would recommend you to stick to the sweet hand-tuned defaults we have provided after years of research, however, we provide a few options that may be useful to hand tune yourself:
--space (values: slash (default), ignore)
The calls j parent child and j parent/child are equivalent by default because spaces are treated as OS separators (/ in Unix). You can choose to ignore spaces in searches by setting the spaces option to ignore:
jump settings --space=ignore
--preserve (values: false (default), true)
By default, landing in a directory that is no longer available on disk will cause jump to remove that directory from its database. If a jump lands in unmounted drive, the changing of the directory will timeout. This is why this is turned off (false) by default.
jump settings --preserve=true
--reset
Reset jump settings to their default values.
jump settings --reset
Decay
When you j miss and you land in the wrong directory, jump can let you go to the lesser scored entries of the miss term if you call j without arguments. Starting with 0.30.0 every time you call j it will deflate the score of the miss term which can let jump learn not to go to that bad directory over time.
