| 11 | Currently, changing to a new directory appends a directory entry in |
| 12 | top of the directory history and removes any previous identical |
| 13 | entries from the history. This unique append is a really handy |
| 14 | feature, but isn't it more convenient and intuitive to insert the |
| 15 | new directory entry right after the current directory in the history |
| 16 | list? This way when you want to visit all of the subdirectories of |
| 17 | the current directory you can get back to the current directory |
| 18 | conveniently with only one "back" command. As it is now, to get back |
| 19 | to the parent directory I have to go back in history an increasing |
| 20 | number of times as each new subdirectory I visit is increasing the |
| 21 | distance in the history list from the last entry to its parent. |

70 | | Of course, this would involve changing list_append_unique in util.c |
71 | | and another parameter to this method indicating where in history we |
72 | | are currently. The method should still remove entries which are not |
73 | | unique. |
