zoxide: no match found

I'm sure it's a common experience among CLI users that they often work with repos whose names are long, but form acronyms. They likely even refer to the project with teammates or in their own minds by the acronym more often than by it's full name.

zoxide algorithm currently does not calculate acronyms for directories like ~/Documents/hooli-interactive-computer-keyboard or whatever. It would be nice to either

  1. compute acronyms for dirnames with more than one word, or
  2. allow users to specify aliases for their most-used projects a la support path alias? #608

Hi mate. Could you try to see whether the feature I implemented meets your needs?

here's what I did (fedora silverblue)

toolbox enter
gh repo clone Erio-Harrison/zoxide
cargo build
./install.sh
zoxide init fish | source
zoxide edit

first entry:

│ ▌ 2050.0 /home/bennyp/Developer/hooli-ux/hooli-interactive-computer-keyboard

z hick
pwd

/home/bennyp/Developer/hooli-ux/hooli-interactive-computer-keyboard/node_modules/@hick

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but it looks like it doesn't work, or maybe I'd need to reset my database.

lol yeah i'm definitely holding it wrong.

Mental note:

  1. actually check out the feature branch
  2. read the install script
  3. then ignore it and install the local binary

Yeah, @Erio-Harrison this branch slaps. Thanks
