Often we switch between different locations a lot. It would be great to have something like a "quick access bar" use which we can directly cd to a certain location.
Something similar to "alias" as in Linux would also be helpful.

How would you propose this works with something like vim or emacs, where cd <some path>␊ isn't the command for changing directories?

The idea is around navigating to different locations in general.
For example, I needed cmd to start at a specific location when I open it in the Windows Terminal. I was able to do it using this:

        {
            // Make changes here to the cmd.exe profile.
            "guid": "{0cxyzd-35be-5f56-a8ff-afxyza6101}",
            "name": "Command Prompt",
            "commandline": "cmd.exe \/k cd c:\\sandbox",
            "hidden": false
        }

Similarly, it would be nice to switch to other locations easily. (Does not necessarily have to be via the command line). Maybe we can just have a drop down menu where I have the recent or most used locations, and easily switch to that.

Why wouldn't you just use the startingDirectory property instead of passing it in the commandline?

I think this will probably end up being solved by #1571/#5888, but I want to make sure I understand the use case fully
