Of course, pushd/popd are great pair of commands, but it cannot switch back once you popped the previous out.

So I made one batch myself, which could maintain a directory history for jumping back, because I have to jump among many directories very often.

Here is the help:

cdx - display all saved path with leading id and name followed if any
cdx <path> - save current path and jump to <path>
cdx :<n|name> - jump to the Nth or named path in the saved list
cdx : - jump to previous path
cdx <n>:<name> - name the Nth path as <name>
cdx rm [:]<n|name> - remove the Nth or named path from the list
cdx clear - clear the list
cdx /help - print out this help
cdx /? - same as above

and examples
