#### Key prompt
The key prompt, invoked by <kbd>^B</kbd>, provides a powerful multi-functional navigation mechanism. It understands contexts, bookmarks and handy location shortcuts.

| key | Go to bookmarked location |
| <kbd>~</kbd> | Go to HOME directory |
| <kbd>-</kbd> | Go to last visited directory |
| <kbd>&</kbd> | Go to start directory |
If all the configured bookmark keys are single character, the prompt is not shown and <kbd>Enter</kbd> is not required; just press <kbd>^B</kbd> followed by the key.

The first time a context is entered, it copies the state of the last visited context. Each context remembers its start directory and last visited directory.
When a context is quit, the next active context is selected. If the last active context is quit, the program quits.
