Description-en: saves time typing when you want to change directories
Wcd (Wherever Change Directory) is a program to quickly change directories.
It saves time typing at the keyboard. One needs to type only a part of a
directory name and wcd will jump to it. By default, wcd searches for a
directory with a name that begins with what has been typed, but the use of
wildcards is also fully supported.
