I use bash, but I like the zsh feature where you could type "cd -n" and go back n entires in your "directory stack", so I made my own version as a function. It's probably subtly broken in some way, since it's bash, but it works relatively well for me:
cd() {
# Set the current directory to the 0th history item
cd_history[0]=$PWD
if [[ $1 == -h ]]; then
for i in ${!cd_history[@]}; do
echo $i: "${cd_history[$i]}"
done
return
elif [[ $1 =~ ^-[0-9]+ ]]; then
builtin cd "${cd_history[${1//-}]}" || # Remove the argument's dash
return
else
builtin cd "$@" || return # Bail if cd fails
fi
# cd_history = ["", $OLDPWD, cd_history[1:]]
cd_history=("" "$OLDPWD" "${cd_history[@]:1:${#cd_history[@]}}")
}
Other than that, I doubt there's much that would be generally useful to anyone.
