Wcd is a command-line program to change directory fast. It saves time typing at the keyboard. One needs to type only a part of a directory name and wcd will jump to it. Wcd has a fast selection method in case of multiple matches and allows aliasing and banning of directories. Wcd also includes a full screen interactive directory tree browser with speed search.

Wcd was modeled after Norton Change Directory (NCD). NCD appeared first in The Norton Utilities, Release 4, for DOS in 1987, published by Peter Norton. NCD was written by Brad Kingsbury.

# Full screen interactive directory browser with speed search and zoom in/out.

# Change drive and directory at once.
# Alias directories.

What's new What's new in version 5.2.3

New Release
- New compact tree mode. By default the 'graphical' tree is drawn the same way as the original NCD did it. On DOS a directory path could only be 66 characters in total. With the deep directory structures of today the tree can become very wide. To overcome this wcd can draw the tree in a compact way, similar to most GUI file managers, with only one folder per line. Use the new option -Tc or switch on-the-fly with the 'm' key. - Alternative navigation in compact tree mode works the same as in GUI file explorers such as Windows Explorer and KDE Konqueror. - Removed option -ga. Instead add the new option -Ta to your wcd alias, function or batch file if you prefer alternative navigation by default. Use shift-A in the tree to switch on-the-fly. - Removed option -gc. Instead add the new option -TC to your wcd alias, function or batch file if you prefer centered view by default. - Wcd compiles with Microsoft Visual C++.
