I had written cdposh and poshmarks which might be useful for you.
cdposh lets you specify environment variable cdpath and lets you switch directly to a directory on the cdpath (much like path for executables)
poshmarks lets you bookmark and quickly go to directories.
I will see if I can implement z for Powershell
Update: A very early implementation of z for Powershell - posz

August 4, 2018How to make "smarter jump to recent folder"
So you have a couple of options. In ZSH you can create widgets and bind them to a function, this is basically what the FZF keybindings for ZSH does when they overwrite the default reverse history search. For my workflow I am using zoxide: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide Unless your are set on using your own file for recent folders, zoxide can hook into your ZSH and keeps a database for you. I have set mine to use j as a trigger work. Typing j and enter will give me a raw list to search with all recent folders. j + searchword will prefilter that list with my search word. If only 1 match is found, automatically jump to that folder. If you want to trigger this from a terminal keybinding instead of entering a command, you can use ZSH widgets to bind them instead. You can check out keybindings here: https://github.com/rothgar/mastering-zsh/blob/master/docs/helpers/widgets.md More on reddit.com

Yes, it is not, we are currently installing a PowerShell Module (you can install some modules using scoop or winget too) and thus, we are using the Install-Module command that is builtin into PowerShell.

r/commandline on Reddit: Z, Autojump or Fasd?
August 4, 2018 -
I'm searching for a directory jump tool in a CL. Currently I use the wd plugin by oh-my-zsh, but that are bookmarks. I would like to have more a functionality like z, which remember the directories I used most and is able to autocomplete and filter them. Going further, I found autojump and fasd with similar functionality. The interesting part of fasd for me, is the so called "frecent" approach, that sounds effective. But otherwise it has much more functions, I'm not interested in, cause I've better solutions for them. What none of all them seems to solve, is to be an extended clone of cd itself. So I can change directories as normal with the extra feature, that if the directory I'm typing does not exist as direct path (relative or absolute), the special feature is used. Does this make sense?
What are your experiences with such tools? Can you suggest any of them strongly? Did you have used multiple of them already? Thanks for feedback!

r/zsh on Reddit: How to make "smarter jump to recent folder"
April 20, 2022 -
Hi,
Really hope someone is able to help me.
I've enabled cdr functionality (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/master/Functions/Chpwd/cdr) and this works as expected. But I can't get accustomed to the way it works. I've tried to combine it with 'fzf-tab' but it is still not quite as I like.
So this got me thinking. I've already got a file which contains recently visited folders, how can I jump to a folder based on a entry in that file? <CTRL>+p should bring up menu selection and fuzzy search for folder. Basically, similar to <CTRL>+r behavior when using 'fzf'.
I've already tried 'autojump', 'fasd', 'zsh-z', ... but neither suits me.

Jump-Location - A Change Directory (CD) PowerShell Command that reads your mind - Scott Hanselman's Blog
September 18, 2014 - There is some beginning Windows support, but instead I turned to Tim Kellogg's open source PowerShell implementation "Jump-Location." What a joy. First, I was like "jump-location?" I'm not going to type that. But then, of course, duh. Aliases. Jump-Location is aliased to just j, which means I can now do awesome stuff like this: c:\> j sc c:\users\scott> j g c:\users\AppData\Local\GitHub> j des c:\users\scott\Desktop> But there's more. It's actually watching how long you are in a directory and keeping stats.
