When you type wt in the file explorer, it open the terminal, but the terminal opens at the default path of my users library. It would be awesome if it opened in the same path as the file explorer i typed it in.

The same happens when i type wt in the CMD. it opens at the default path for my user, not the path i was already navigated to in CMD.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
