This plugin enables directory navigation similar to using back and forward on browsers or common file explorers like Finder or Nautilus. It uses a small zle trick that lets you cycle through your directory stack left or right using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Left</kbd> / <kbd>Right</kbd> . This is useful when moving back and forth between directories in development environments, and can be thought of as kind of a nondestructive pushd/popd.
1. Open your `.zshrc` file and add `dircycle` in the plugins section:
```zsh
plugins=(
# all your enabled plugins
dircycle
)
```
2. Reload the source file or restart your Terminal session:
```console
$ source ~/.zshrc
$
```
## Usage Examples
Say you opened these directories on the terminal:
```console
~$ cd Projects
~/Projects$ cd Hacktoberfest
~/Projects/Hacktoberfest$ cd oh-my-zsh
~/Projects/Hacktoberfest/oh-my-zsh$ dirs -v
0 ~/Projects/Hacktoberfest/oh-my-zsh
1 ~/Projects/Hacktoberfest
2 ~/Projects
3 ~
```
By pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Left</kbd>, the current working directory or `$CWD` will be from `oh-my-zsh` to `Hacktoberfest`. Press it again and it will be at `Projects`.
And by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Right</kbd>, the `$CWD` will be from `Projects` to `Hacktoberfest`. Press it again and it will be at `oh-my-zsh`.
Here's a example history table with the same accessed directories like above:
Note the last traversal, when pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Right</kbd> on a last known `$CWD`, it will change back to the first known `$CWD`, which in the example is `~`.
Here's an asciinema cast demonstrating the example above:
You can bind these functions to other key sequences, as long as you know the bindkey sequence. For example, these commands bind to <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Left</kbd> / <kbd>Right</kbd> in `xterm-256color`:
