Sometimes I need to navigate among some folders. I need the "go back" in a convenient way, like "cd -". But, this is not supported in Matlab. Is there any way to achieve this? If not, a keyboard shortcut to pop up the recent directory list is OK,too.
Thank you very much.

There is a Back button in the Current Folder toolbox. That takes be back to the folder that was previously the current folder. Does that help or are you specifically looking for a keyboard shortcut?

support for . and .. is present because NTFS and all Unix filesystems literally have entries named . and .. inside them. MATLAB does not need to do any special parsing for either one: it can just ask the operating system to change directory (and then query to find out where it ended up.)
There is special processing for ~ as that is not handled by the operating system. It is, however, only necessary to construct the mapping of ~ to a folder name once at startup time using environment variables HOME, or USERDRIVE and USERPATH, as changes to those are ignored (iirc).
Supporting cd - would require that cd keeps history, which it does not do at the moment. I don't think it would be a difficult change to support one level of history, but it would be different in character than what is already implemented.

cd does not keep any kind of history. It has no idea that you used to be in a folder inside the current folder and want to go back there.
