Duplicate the tab with the same path #10105
Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
Now CTRL + SHIFT + D can copy the existing tab page (with the same configuration file). New tabs always start with the default path, such as C:/Users/myUserName, even though my working path has been moved to D:/somePath.
For me, opening a new tab is often just to operate around the previous path. If the path is too deep, I have to cd in again.
It's also more annoying for remote operations.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
- For tab located on the local file system, it should just save the path and reopen in the new tab.
- For tab that is connecting to a remote, to save SSH’s account temporarily for automatic login may help.

For local operations, it's possible. But you need to manually configure the shell for now. See #3158 (comment) for help if you're a PowerShell user.
There are also discussions about the SSH scenarios in #3158 and unfortunately that is not possible at the moment. Nor do I think it will be possible in the future.

Yep, that's all correct. For more info, see:
