+      longDescription = ''
+        One of the most used shell commands is “cd”.  A quick survey
+        among my friends revealed that between 10 and 20% of all
+        commands they type are actually cd commands! Unfortunately,
+        jumping from one part of your system to another with cd
+        requires to enter almost the full path, which isn’t very
+        practical and requires a lot of keystrokes.
+
+        Autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem.  It
+        works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the
+        most from the command line.  The jstat command shows you the
+        current contents of the database.  You need to work a little
+        bit before the database becomes useable.  Once your database
+        is reasonably complete, you can “jump” to a directory by
+        typing "j dirspec", where dirspec is a few characters of the
+        directory you want to jump to.  It will jump to the most used
+        directory whose name matches the pattern given in dirspec.
+
+        Autojump supports tab-completion.
