If you're in explorer.exe, you can press ctrl+l, then type wt -d ., and that'll open the Terminal automatically in the current working directory.

I'm pretty confident that it's not possible to install a global hotkey on the system that can read the state of the active window and get the CWD of that process unfortunately. So I'll just resolve this as a /dup of #878, /dup #3158, /dup #653 for now.
