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
