SummaryAuthor asks whether a proposed shell utility for persistent and temporary filesystem bookmarks, accessed via an @name syntax, would be useful, and surveys how people currently handle directory navigation using aliases, env vars, z, autojump, or other tools.
Why it mattersSurfaces the design space around directory-jumping tools and the gap, if any, between existing solutions and an explicit bookmark model. Community answers may confirm market saturation or reveal unmet needs.
