macOS Tahoe adds true color support to Terminal.app https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/16/apples-terminal-app-mac...

For another approach, personally I found just doing `TERM=xterm-256color ssh <server>` more practical than the solutions at https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo#ssh

Ah, good point, this isn’t `oh-my-zsh` but it does require a couple of options to work as described:

1. `setopt autopushd pushdsilent`: This is the key component, `autopushd` automatically adds directories to the directory stack (and `pushdsilent` option does it without echoing added directories). Without this option, there’s no directory stack to traverse (unless directories are first manually added to it with `pushd` [for completion, `popd` pops directories off the stack navigating back to those directories]). `autopushd` just calls `pushd` on the current directory after each `cd`.

2. To get a menu, Zsh completion also has to be loaded, e.g., `autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -C`

3. Finally `zstyle ':completion:*' menu select` is optional, but that highlights the selected match, which is a nicer UI in my opinion.

Those are the options I used to get this working with `zsh -f` (which starts Zsh with a default config).

To me, the interesting conversation here is between these three workflows:

1. Recursive directory fuzzy-search

2. Searching history for `cd` commands

3. Zoxide-style matching visited directories

Which are all ways to make it easier to traverse directories.

For my part, the thrust of your argument seemed to be advocating for #1, so that's what I was responding to (since this is a thread on #3, I'm mainly focusing on why you'd use that instead of #1 or #2, but all three are workable).

All of these can be implemented in any of the common shells. I didn't see anyone making a case for a specific shell here, I think the mentions of a specific shell are incidental (e.g., what people happen to use).

What do you mean? Zoxide isn't a shell, it's just a CLI program. It doesn't involve changing shells, you can see the list of supported shells in the README (it's more comparable to fzf than a shell, it ships with optional shell integrations the same way fzf does).
