Autojump: Trying to jump to ~ sends me to /Users

Created on 7 Aug 2017  ·  4Comments  ·  Source: wting/autojump

So, I noticed that if I try to j ~ I'm sent to /Users instead of my home directory of /Users/myusername, which is what ~ resolves to.

This is of course very minor, but I notice it frequently because I still try to j ~ every now and then, then I remember that I can't do that and thencd ~.

Nothing, but I use j more than cd now, so it just feels strange there is a directory that I can't jump to, especially considering that that directory is my home directory, which I go to often and would initially expect to be supported.

I know this isn't what you want, but what's wrong with cd to get back to your home?

I also have this issue. Looking at my database, I find that my home directory isn't there at all.

Same here.
j ~ or j h should send me home
