CommandLeftRight

CommandLeftRight is a simple yet versatile command-line tool designed to facilitate navigation between directories in a terminal environment. It is particularly useful for users who frequently switch between multiple directories or need to manage complex directory structures efficiently. The tool operates by allowing users to define and recall previously accessed paths with minimal keystrokes, reducing the need for manual typing or memorization of directory paths.

Developed as an open-source utility, CommandLeftRight is compatible with Unix-like operating systems, including Linux and macOS. It is often used in conjunction with other command-line utilities to enhance workflow efficiency. The tool functions by maintaining a stack of directory paths, enabling users to move backward and forward through their navigation history with commands such as `cd -` (to return to the previous directory) or custom aliases defined by the user. CommandLeftRight extends this functionality by providing additional shortcuts, such as `cd +` to jump to the next directory in the stack or customizable keybindings for quick access.

One of the key features of CommandLeftRight is its ability to integrate with shell configurations like `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or `.bash_profile`. Users can define custom commands or aliases to streamline their workflow. For example, a user might set an alias like `ll` to navigate to a frequently used directory or create a shortcut to toggle between multiple project folders. The tool also supports tab completion in some configurations, further improving usability.

CommandLeftRight is lightweight and does not require extensive system resources, making it suitable for users who prefer minimalist solutions. While it does not replace more advanced directory management tools, it serves as a practical addition for those seeking to optimize their terminal navigation. Documentation and installation instructions are typically provided in the project’s repository, where users can also contribute to its development or report issues.
