## `dcd` : Deep fuzzy cd
When you want to cd to a deep directory, using `br` is fast and easy enough:
* you type `br` (and `enter`)
* you type the name of the deep folder (or part of it)
* you check the right line is selected
* you do `alt-enter`
* you're done
But when you frequently go to a few specific places, you may prefer a shortcut.
As broot can be driven by commands, you can define this function:
# deep fuzzy cd
function dcd {
br --only-folders --cmd "$1 :c"
}
(paste this for example in your .bashrc)
This is the *"I'm feeling lucky"* of broot, you can use it to directly jump to directories you know, when you don't need the interactive search of br.
Example:
## focus a new directory but keep the current filter
Similarly, `:back` keeps can be used in place of `esc` to keep the filter when going to the previous state.
## Going from a fixed search to an exact one
Let's assume you type `too` to search for some files. You might have got too many matches including some where the letters aren't consecutive.
You may switch to an exact search by just adding `/`, which changes the fuzzy pattern to a regular expression.
Or if you realize you want to match `tOo` too, then you make it case insensitive by adding an i: `too/i`.
