I disagree that it is ugly: it's a very commonly used shortcut that I
like.  I love it so much that I have the following in my ~/.zshrc:

function - () {
	if test "true" = "$(g rp --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)"; then
		g co -
	else
		cd - >/dev/null
	fi
}

So, I just

  $ -

to switch back and forth :)
