I find that I often will pushd to a different directory and then cd several times. The problem isn't so much that I would need to prevd numerous times, but that I would have to prevd a different number depending on what I did. It's much easier to automatically type popd and be where I wanted to be. > One way to make prevd/nextd even more ready to completely replace > pushd/popd would be if they displayed the entire directory history > with the current item marked while moving around.
