feature request: n -

[ycmjason]

I am switching between two different version of node frequently and would be nice if there is some command like n - which switches to the previous node version.

Prior art:

• cd -
• git checkout -
  ...

FYI: this has been discussed in past, and in fact matching functionality was removed at that time.
See #184

Thanks for the prior art examples. I wasn't familiar with either of those.

Personally I like the concept in theory, but not sure how much I would use it in practice.

- is currently an alias for rm, which makes it challenging to change it to mean something else. And - does seem the most natural choice given the prior art.

On a related note and perhaps not well known, a shortcut that is currently available is using a partial version number. This works quite naturally for checking a past major versions for an issue. e.g.

n 8
# test
n 6
# test
n lts
# back to normal

I just happened to worked with something where I need to switch between two versions very often. That's why I suggested this.

To be fair tho, I probably won't be using it that much too and doing n 8, n 6 isn't a lot harder. I will close this then if this is not something that will be considered! 😄
