Description Trevor Spiteri 2002-07-25 09:23:23 UTC 
I often open new tabs and then change them to the same directory as the
current shell (sort of fork the shell), e.g. to su and do some stuff in
this directory while still being able to do stuff as a user in this
directory. If this behaviour is common enough, I think there can be an
option to "Open new tabs/windows in current directory".

I think this can be somehow related (although not a dup) to #88139.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-07-25 16:19:09 UTC 
Maybe this should just be the default... it's really easy to implement.
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-09-22 22:09:31 UTC 
I think this is a good idea.
Comment 3 Janne 2002-10-17 14:56:07 UTC 
Maybe look at bug #95205 as well, in connection with this?
Comment 4 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2003-06-21 02:55:49 UTC 
A patch follows which makes New Tab/Window start the new shell in the
current working directory of the active tab of the active window.

Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2003-06-21 02:58:30 UTC 
Patch looks good to commit.
Comment 7 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2003-06-29 23:14:34 UTC 
Done. Close?
Comment 8 Mikel Ward 2008-03-31 03:53:14 UTC 
Can we please disable this (or at least provide an option to disable it)?  I find this really annoying.
Comment 9 Christian Persch 2008-03-31 22:01:20 UTC 
Please don't post comments in bugs that have been FIXED for almost 5 years, they'll get lost. Instead, open a new bug (after searching if one already has been filed.)
Comment 10 Mikel Ward 2008-03-31 22:13:37 UTC 
Filed bug 525450.

I first raised it here so that all the people who originally wanted it were aware I wanted to undo their change.
