Dear Ubuntu-Team,
 
I have a question:
Is it possible to add the command ​mkcd​?
It stands for make & change directory and I think it will be super usefull.
 
It happened already way too often that I typed "mk foo && cd foo" and
with mkcd it will save 8 keystrokes for the example "foo".

The most easy way for you is function in you .bashrc (in the homedir)

Just include

mkcd() {
    #do things with parameters like $1 such as
    make $1          
    cd $1        
}
 

Then you can use this command.

Hth!

Oliver
