I accidentally discovered that both “cd …” and “…” work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I’m using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I’m pretty sure this isn’t a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??
I’m so excited about an extra dot right now.

Yup, that’s what I’ve always understood. Seems like this is zsh-specific, since using the default Terminal app with zsh also works. Do you know if other shells (fish, csh, etc.) support this syntactic sugar? Anything else zsh has that I should know?
Well, I’m a
fish
guy, so there’s two things I can tell you:fish
does not support this particular syntactic sugar.fish

Eshell, the Emacs shell, supports this feature out of the box, regardless of the OS it runs on.
