PowerJump

---

Quick commandline navigation by bookmarks (jumps). Supercedes my old shelljump project, as a binary powershell module.

Add to your PS profile with

Import-Module .\Path\To\Module\PowerJump.psd1

Inspired by "Quickly navigate your filesystem from the command-line" http://tinyurl.com/nx6wzvq

Allows for bookmarking of folders under aliases and the capability to jump to them, persisting between shell sessions in an (editable) json file.

Command aliases:

jumps           | List all existing bookmarks.
j (alias)       | Jump to a bookmarked folder.
jump (alias)    | Jump to a bookmarked folder.
mark (alias)    | Bookmarks current directory with a given alias.
unmark [alias]  | Removes alias.
loadjumps       | Reloads .json file into shell (if edited or out of date)
savejumps       | Overwrite .json file with current jumps
editjumps       | Open .json file in default editor, await exit, and reload.

Underlying functions -> related alias:

Add-Jump     -> mark
Edit-Jumps   -> editjumps
Find-Jump    -> jump, j
Import-Jumps -> loadjumps
Get-Jumps    -> jumps
Remove-Jump  -> unmark
Save-Jumps   -> savejumps

Storage:

Bookmarks are serialized to a Jumps.json file in the user's Documents directory. ~Documents\Jumps.json

Saves are atomic and triggered on add and remove, the last version being saved as Jumps.json.prev.

Example:

    C:\> cd '.\Program Files\Sublime Text 2'
    C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2> mark st2
    C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2> cd \
    C:\> jump st2
    C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2> jumps
    st2        -> C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2
    C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2> unmark st2
