Change default terminal directory in WebStorm

I'm using WebStorm 2016.2 as my IDE at the moment and I like the built in terminal. The one thing that would make it better for me would be the ability to specify a default project terminal directory. The reason is, my project directory looks like

application/
build/
deploy/

Most of the time I'm working in the application directory and that's where my package.json is to run all my npm commands. It's a pain having to move directory every time I start the terminal.

Currently it's not possible.

Watch (star/vote/comment) these tickets (mainly first one) to get notified on progress:

Right now the best I can offer is to grab & drag desired folder and drop it at already opened terminal (at tabs space) -- it will open new tab with that folder as current path.
