nextd - move forward through directory history

Synopsis

.. synopsis::

nextd [-l | --list] [POS]

Description

nextd moves forwards POS positions in the :ref:history of visited directories <directory-history>; if the end of the history has been hit, a warning is printed.

If the -l or --list option is specified, the current directory history is also displayed.

The -h or --help option displays help about using this command.

Note that the cd command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the :envvar:dirprev and :envvar:dirnext variables which this command manipulates.

Example

::

cd /usr/src
# Working directory is now /usr/src

cd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell

prevd
# Working directory is now /usr/src

nextd
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
