Summary of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice if it was possible to right click on a folder in Windows Explorer and select "Open in Terminal" sort of like you can do with PowerShell 6.0.

It would also be nice to be able to type "terminal" on the windows explorer address bar and have terminal open on that folder (like powershell does).

For example:

  1. Go to a folder in Windows Explorer (i.e. c:\temp)

  2. Type pwsh in the address bar and hit enter

  3. A powershell 6.0 terminal window opens on the C:\temp folder:
