Description

think about the following scenario:
I have opened a workspace folder. say 'wsp/' which is now the current directory. now i want to open my terminal in `wesp/abc/xyz/test/'
1. 1. one way can be: `` ctrl-` `` (open terminal) which would default to `wsp/`
2. then do `cd abc/xyz/test`
3. 1. navigate to this directory in gui (whether using this extension or using the explorer side panel) .
2. open a file from the gui itself.
3. then just press `` ctrl-` ``.

so, can there be a way to navigate to a directory using method 2 above but without doing step 2.ii. i.e. without requiring to open a file?

Research direction

Start by tracing the extension's GUI directory-navigation action and how the Ctrl-` terminal is opened. The change is complete when navigating to a directory lets the terminal open there without requiring a file in that directory to be opened first.
