Create New Tab Sessions with the same working Directory

Question

Often in workflow you are working within a directory and then need to create a second terminal or session to the same directory.

TAB 1
#~/home
cd really
#~/home/really
cd long
#~/home/really/long
cd filepath
#~/home/really/long/filepath
node filepath
#session now occupied 

#new TAB
#CTR + T
#~/home
#I want to be in the same filepath 

is there a setting somewhere to do this?

Answer 1

One of the options for a profile is which directory to use when creating a session with that profile. The default is to use your home directory, but you can change that to use the previous directory instead. You can change this setting in the default profile (allowing you to continue using ⌘-T), or you can create a new profile which uses this setting, and assign a different keyboard shortcut to create a session with that profile.

Answer 2

Preferences->Profiles->Working Directory->Reuse previous session's directory
