Simplify folder navigation in windows terminal powershell

Open settings json file in windows terminal (ctrl+shift+,), find "actions" json array, add two commands (don't forget about preceding coma):

        {

            "command":

            {

                "action": "sendInput",

                "input": "cd ..\r"

            },

            "keys": "alt+up"

        },

        {

            "command":

            {

                "action": "sendInput",

                "input": "cd \u0000"

            },

            "keys": "alt+down"

        }

From now on pressing Alt+Up will go one level up (like in Windows Explorer) and pressing Alt+Down will bring powershell hint for switching the directory:

The trick here is to use \u0000 which is a terminal equivalent of pressing Ctrl+Space. It is applicable only to powershell, since there is no directory browsing feature in a regular cmd.
