+<title>Snip Snap</title>
+<description>&lt;p&gt;I regularly switch between exactly two things while working, a
+“current” and an “alternate” item; a lot of tools I use seem to support
+this flow.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="git"&gt;git&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Pass &lt;code&gt;-&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;git-checkout&lt;/code&gt; to switch to the
+previously active branch:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb1"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb1-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; git branch&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-2"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; foo&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-3"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;span class="ex"&gt;bar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-4"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-4" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-5"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-5" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; git checkout bar&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-6"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-6" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; git branch&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-7"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-7" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;span class="ex"&gt;foo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-8"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-8" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; bar&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-9"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-9" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-10"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-10" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; git checkout &lt;span class="at"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-11"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-11" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; git branch&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-12"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-12" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; foo&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb1-13"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb1-13" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;span class="ex"&gt;bar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="bash---cd"&gt;bash - cd&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This may not be exclusive to &lt;code&gt;bash&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb2"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb2-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb2-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/foo&lt;/span&gt; $ cd ~/bar&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb2-2"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb2-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/bar&lt;/span&gt; $ cd &lt;span class="at"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb2-3"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb2-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/foo&lt;/span&gt; $&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This is especially handy in combination with my &lt;a
+href="../curing_a_case_of_git-UX/"&gt;git-worktree flow&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb3-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb3-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/main-branch&lt;/span&gt; $ gwj feature&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb3-2"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb3-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/feat-branch&lt;/span&gt; $ cd &lt;span class="at"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb3-3"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb3-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;~/main-branch&lt;/span&gt; $&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="bash---jobs"&gt;bash - jobs&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I often suspend multiple &lt;code&gt;vim&lt;/code&gt; sessions with
+&lt;code&gt;Ctrl-Z&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb4"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb4-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb4-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; jobs&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb4-2"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb4-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;[1]+&lt;/span&gt;  Stopped                 vim transpiler/src/transform.rs&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb4-3"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb4-3" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;[2]-&lt;/span&gt;  Stopped                 git commit &lt;span class="at"&gt;--verbose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In the above example: I suspended &lt;code&gt;vim&lt;/code&gt; when working on
+&lt;code&gt;transform.rs&lt;/code&gt;, and then began working on a commit by running
+&lt;code&gt;git commit&lt;/code&gt; without a message flag (lets you craft a message
+in &lt;code&gt;$EDITOR&lt;/code&gt;). To bring the current job to the foreground,
+you can use &lt;code&gt;fg&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb5"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb5-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb5-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; fg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;With a job identifier:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb6"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb6-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb6-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; fg %2    &lt;span class="co"&gt;# resumes interactive git commit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Or switch to “last” job, or the second-most-recently-resumed job:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;div class="sourceCode" id="cb7"&gt;&lt;pre
+class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;code class="sourceCode bash"&gt;&lt;span id="cb7-1"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb7-1" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; fg %-&lt;/span&gt;
+&lt;span id="cb7-2"&gt;&lt;a href="#cb7-2" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="ex"&gt;$&lt;/span&gt; %-      &lt;span class="co"&gt;# shorthand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="vim"&gt;vim&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Switch to the last active buffer with &lt;code&gt;Ctrl+^&lt;/code&gt;. In
+command-mode, &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; refers to the last active buffer, you can
+use this as an argument to a few commands:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;pre class="vimscript"&gt;&lt;code&gt;:b#      &amp;quot; switch to alternate buffer (same as Ctrl+^)
+:vsp#    &amp;quot; create a vertical split with the alternate buffer
+:read#   &amp;quot; read contents of alternate buffer into current buffer
+:!wc #   &amp;quot; pass file name of alternate buffer to the command `wc`&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;See &lt;code&gt;:help c_#&lt;/code&gt; for more.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="tmux"&gt;tmux&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Switch to the last active tmux session with
+&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;prefix&amp;gt;+shift+L&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;h4 id="qutebrowser"&gt;qutebrowser&lt;/h4&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Switch to the last active tab with &lt;code&gt;g$&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
