Idea: merge z and zi - enter interactive mode by using z without argument

[WieeRd]

Currently, z without any argument changes cwd to the home directory.
I assume this is meant to replicate the behavior of cd, but I don't find this particularly useful.
Wouldn't it be much more useful and ergonomic if z without any argument enters the interactive mode of zi?

This is certainly a nice idea. The problem is that opening up zi with no arguments typically produces too many results and is not very helpful. I personally tend to prefer Space+Tab completions where I can type out some part of the query before opening up the fuzzy finder.

However, if you'd like to set it up on your own shell, you can just create a function that wraps __zoxide_z (the equivalent of "z") and calls __zoxide_zi (equivalent of "zi") when there are no arguments.

I've just tried it, and it was pretty simple to implement.
I guess this is trivial enough to not need to be upstreamed to zoxide itself.
Here's my snippet using Nushell, for the people who came up with the same idea as me.

# env.nu
zoxide init nushell --no-cmd | save -f zoxide.nu

# config.nu
def --env z [search?: string] {
    if $search != null {
        __zoxide_z $search
    } else {
        __zoxide_zi
    }
}
