You might want to look into autojump or autojump-rs to quickly jump to your workspace directories.

Also, ripgrep is a competent (not drop-in though) alternative to ag/grep.

Thanks. I've found that autojump and the like are too non-determistic to be reliable.

ripgrep is missing two very critical features: -G (--file-search-regex) and the ability to grep gzip'd files. The ripgrep vim plugin is also sub-par to ag's.

ripgrep is certainly faster, but they're both so fast their difference is often in ms.
