About:
V is a command-line tool that tracks frequently used directories and enables quick navigation to them using a single letter command. It functions similarly to the 'z' tool but is specifically designed for integration with the Vim text editor, allowing users to jump to project directories and open files directly within Vim.

Key Features:

Tracks directory usage frequency and recent access
Vim integration for seamless file opening
Simple letter-based navigation commands
Fast directory jumping without complex setup

Use Cases:

Quickly navigating between multiple project directories in Vim
Switching between development environments without remembering full paths
Improving workflow efficiency for developers working across many repositories

Alternatives:

z – More widely used shell-based directory jumper, but lacks native Vim integration
zoxide – Modern Rust-based alternative with faster performance and multi-shell support
