Linux question: I like to browse using ls. Than when I find what I'm looking for, I would like to directly move there with cd without having to retype the path. Is there an elegant solution for that? (sh.itjust.works)

Maybe there is a tool that does that? Maybe I'm doing this all wrong and there is a different way I should browse?

To add,

!$ gets replaced with the last word from the previous command line

!! Repeats the most recent command

!-N Repeats the Nth previous command

!string Repeats the most recent command that began with 'string'

    I just learned more about Linux than I did from my whole IT degree.

    If !$ isn’t pronounced “ba-ching!” I’m quitting Linux

    the (ng) is silent when used in compound punctuation in ba(ng)
