Cdargs is a curses based directory bookmarking tool. See http://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/CDargs/
This works nice on bash but I wanted something like that to work with VIM. Tried NERDTree bookmarking but still wanted something like curses. Press a key a list is displayed where you can move around. Something like screen window list shown on pressing C-A+"
I found it that it was way too easy to integrate cdargs with vim using a vim function. The function is self-explanatory. Read the see links and you will be able to decipher the function.
There is also VIM plugin which uses cdargs but it does not show the curses window. See: https://github.com/vim-scripts/cdargs
