Just switched from tcsh to bash 4.2 on OSX, and autocd was what allowed me to do it. But it seems that by default if you type the name of a directory that also happens to be the name of an executable in my path, autocd is not invoked and the command is run.
Is there a way to change this behavior, so that it assumes I want to be safe and cd into the directory specified?
/tmp/
is still two characters shorter thancd /tmp
, and it's unambiguous.
