Description of the new feature/enhancement

Input wt to the win file explorer address bar . Then wt can auto change path to the folder .

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

For example, In windows, I open the file folder , and change to e:\foo . Then I input cmd to the explorer address bar , the cmd window will be open , and the path is e:\foo.

Can wt support the same function ?

yep, it already does. However, you need to type

wt -d .

to specifically tell the Terminal the working directory (-d) is the current directory of explorer (.)

For more details on wt.exe's commandline args, see Using command line arguments for Windows Terminal
