      I need a shell/plugin/tool/whatever that always shows me the content of the current dir in a little popup or something.

      Anything I do in the shell is like cd this, ls, cd there, ls *, I feel like a have the navigational awareness of a amnesiac goldfish

        Put this in bashrc or whatever flavour of shells’s bashrc you use:

        function cs () { cd “$@” && ls }

        I didnt remember the function sintax of bash so I just copied it from SO.

          cs () {
    cd $1;
    ls ${@:2}
}

          You (probably) only want to pass the first argument to cd, this’ll send the rest to ls.
