## 
#   Navigate directory history using ALT-LEFT and ALT-RIGHT. ALT-LEFT moves back to directories 
#   that the user has changed to in the past, and ALT-RIGHT undoes ALT-LEFT.
# 
#   Navigate directory hierarchy using ALT-UP and ALT-DOWN. (mac keybindings not yet implemented)
#   ALT-UP moves to higher hierarchy (cd ..)
#   ALT-DOWN moves into the first directory found in alphabetical order
