Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

Why not just cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the first place?

That’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs.

Though you can use the xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD command to get it automatically.

Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads directory in my home.
