another key like tilde in terminal
 

I have a general question about the linux terminal:

Is there a way to make your own ~?

~ is nice for when you want to go to home, but if there is another folder that you use a lot, can you choose another symbol that has the same effect for folder as ~ has for home?

I now use aliases like this:
cdf
lsf

to cd and ls to f, where f is the folder I use a lot, but having a symbol like ~ would make it easier since I often want to cd/ls to other folders within f.

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks in advance,

Of course, go to here and follow the instructions.

thank you for your replies but it was not really what I was looking for.

there was some nice info here and I used it to add tilde to the keybar

like I said I use aliases but I am looking for something else, I'll try to explain better this time.

there is a folder, I'll call him hank
I use hank a lot
I want a symbol, for instance @
and I want @ to act exactly like ~ but for hank instead of for home/user/

so that ls @/jack
becomes ls hank/jack

I hope this is more clear

Thanks in advance,

You could use shell variables:
