The first 2 can be handled with aliases like you mentioned. It's easy enough to place those in your config.nu file. I'm not on a Windows system today but number 3 looks familiar. Can you explain more about what it's doing and what you want nushell to do? |

Yeah 2 aliases is ok, I noticed on first nushell run, it generated default config file, wish it can have them as default, :).
In nushell, only absolute directory can be used after driver letter:, and switch to another driver also need absolute path, can not use just driver letter: C:\> ls d: 11/15/2024 06:32:02 PMError: x Main thread panicked.

I could maybe see someone implementing the D: vs D:. I'm not sure about the current directory thing because it would require a fundamental change where every drive would have a current working directory. But all it takes is someone passionate enough and talented enough to implement it. |

Yeah, in windows, one can even change the current directory of another driver, but not switch there:

That behavior is in CMD only, but PowerShell actually switches there. I've disliked the CMD approach for over 30 years now. ;-) When a user says |

Complete PWD per drive support for nushell, will send PR after testing several days.

Hi, I'm a new user of Nushell. I found some interoperability and user-friendly improvement potentials:
Consider supporting dir (GitHub Codespaces bash supports it, and PowerShell supports dir/ls).
When users try to use cat or type, they encounter error messages. Providing an alias for open might be better, or at least mentioning open in the current error message.
On Windows, currently, if using a drive letter, only absolute paths are allowed. However, Windows natively supports the "current directory" concept for each drive. I hope Nushell can also accept paths like C: or D:test.
