How to spawn a new tab in same directory as previous directory? [closed]

Question

I want to simply start a new tab in the same folder as my previous tab that I was in. Is this possible, and if so how? This is with the Windows Terminal by the way.

Now if I open a new tab, it will open in home directory (which is configured in the Windows Terminal's settings page).

Answer 1

1. Open the windows terminal
2. Click the dropdown button
3. Click the settings option
4. set the startingDirectory value to "./"

Example

"profiles":
    {
        "defaults":
        {
            // Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles.
            "startingDirectory": "./" <---- set this value
        }

Answer 2

This is not currently possible, as explained here https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1437 the issue is closed at the moment but could perhaps be re-opened in future.
