Description of the new feature/enhancement

A keyboard shortcut to open terminal app in the same path as file explorer window.

Lot of devs who use VS code or similar editors/IDEs are familiar with the shortcut `ctrl + `` to open terminal in the project's path.
Though windows have a right click shortcut for it, the keyboard shortcut is just muscle memory.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'm gonna call this /dup #10202. I think that's probably effectively the same thing as what you want. You've just articulated it a little cleaner than the rambling I have in that thread 😅
