## Summary of the Pull Request > ## Abstract > > Multiple related scenarios have come up where it would be beneficial to display > actionable UI to the user within the context of the active terminal itself. This > UI would be akin to the Intellisense UI in Visual Studio. It appears right where > the user is typing, and can help provide immediate content for the user, based > on some context. The "Suggestions UI" is this new ephemeral UI within the > Windows Terminal that can display different types of actions, from different > sources. > ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments _\*<sup>\*</sup><sub>\*</sub> read the spec <sub>\*</sub><sup>\*</sup>\*_ Similar to #14792, a lot of this code is written. This stuff isn't checked in though, so I'm presenting formally before I start yeeting PRs out there. ## PR Checklist - [x] This is a spec for #1595. It also references: * #3121 * #10436 * #12927 * #12863

see: #5400, {Add action to bring up a Cmd Palette with just
sendInputactions}, and to a lesser extent #3121. Also #3158, #8166 et. al.Okay, so the shell can tell the Terminal what the CWDs are. Terminal should store those in a queue, and then provide a way to hook them up to a cmdpal filled with them as
sendInputactions. So hit enter on one of them in the cmdpal and presto,cd path/to/place/i/was/before↩gets sent to the terminal to CD back to that directory.This assumes you're in a context where
cd some\pathwill work. Obviously, vim, emacs wouldn't work. Something likesshgets tricky I suppose.Maybe it doesn't work in the alt buffer, since a shell probably isn't active there?
iTerm2 has something like this. I think they use a side panel, but whatever. Docs: https://iterm2.com/documentation-shell-integration.html, under "Recent Directories"
