Just realized I can just use "..." to go back two directories! Is this a zsh feature? (self.programming)

I accidentally discovered that both "cd ..." and "..." work, and moreover, I can add more dots to go back further! I'm using zsh on iTerm2 on macOS. I'm pretty sure this isn't a cd feature. Is this specific to zsh or iTerm2? Are there other cool features I just never knew existed??

I'm so excited about an extra dot right now.

Oooh I’m stealing these aliases! Odd that I never wondered whether you could have an alias be symbols.
