Description
Dupe Check
- I have searched Warp feature requests and there are no duplicates
Describe the solution you'd like?
Navigate directory history with Alt+← and Alt+→.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using fish shell which supports this by default but it isn't working in Warp.
Additional context
Fish has support for a directory history. It's similar to pushd, popd, dirs but automatic and built in, and specifically it supports navigating the history with keyboard shortcuts.
Alt+← and Alt+→ will move back and forward one word, or navigate the history if the command is empty.

This isn't working in Warp.
I would like this fish feature to work seamlessly in Warp, or a similar feature to be built into warp.

Research direction
Start with the linked fish interactive documentation and the requested Alt+Left and Alt+Right behavior. Determine whether Warp should expose fish's directory history or provide an equivalent built-in feature; done means empty-command navigation moves backward and forward through directory history while preserving the stated word-navigation behavior.
