Hi, thank's for the great idea to create this app. I have tried this terminal for several weeks, and whenever I go to a specific directory on my windows, I should type like below

   cd C://xampp/htdocs/myProject

it would be nice to pin this current directory as a favorite so when we come back to the current directory, just go with our favorite directory with pinned as the favorite one.

Thank's

Sorry for my bad English to explain it

With https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8166 and https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/15469, PowerShell can inform Windows Terminal about the working directory. I don't see any technical obstacle to changing Windows Terminal so that the user can bookmark the directory and later select the bookmark to open a new pane, tab, or window in that directory. However, if you want Windows Terminal to tell a previously started shell to cd to a bookmarked directory, that is more difficult.

On the other hand, if you need this only in PowerShell, then it would be pretty easy to define a set of aliases named like cd-MyProject and then type cd- and press Tab to get a list.

Hi, @KalleOlaviNiemitalo thank's for your advice, but I think to create the alias for every project that we have maybe we cannot remember all of them, in my own experience I just open vscode , but not running the server development within vscode terminal because my screen is small, so I running the server dev from windows terminal (Power Shell or CMD) and it helps me to focus on my code and save space, and finally this is only my opinion.

Couldn't you just create a profile, where the startingDirectory is set to C://xampp/htdocs/myProject? That's generally what I do - one profile for each of the projects I like to work on
