Tmux open new pane in same directory

.tmux.conf

# Set the control character to Ctrl+Spacebar (instead of Ctrl+B)
set -g prefix C-space
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-space send-prefix

# Set new panes to open in current directory
bind c new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind '"' split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"

Exactly what I was looking for, and easy to grok! Thank you @william8th!

Is there a way to open new pane not only in same directory but alse in same shell?
For example:

1. i open term, default SHELL is '/bin/zsh'
2. split pane and run powershell - now i have 2 panes, with zsh and pwsh
3. being in pwsh pane, split-pane creates another zsh pane, but pwsh needed

i've tried with setting

$env:SHELL = '%full pwsh path%'

in pwsh profile and

set-option -g default-command "${SHELL}"
set-option -g default-shell "${SHELL}"
bind '"' split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}" "${SHELL}"
bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}" "${SHELL}"

in tmux.conf but it not works :c

Thank you! Saves me so much daily frustration.

Awesome, thanks! 🚀

this did not work in cygwin 3.3.6. hmmm

you're a G thank you

🙏

Here is all I added to mine, if you wanna see the "bare minimum requirements":

# window splits
bind-key v split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind-key b split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"

thank you for this :) @shmup

Great!

Did not think it would work so flawlessly. Just adding to the awesomeness and praise! Good job 👍

Amazing thank you for this 👌

how to make it work with
set -g mouse on ?

Thank you for this!

Indeed a time saver :D

Thanks!

@tracure1337 You can see how the menu is created with tmux list-keys > ~/keybindings.txt and can edit the right click binding to include -c #{pane_current_path}

bind-key -T root MouseDown3Pane if-shell -F -t = "#{||:#{mouse_any_flag},#{&&:#{pane_in_mode},#{?#{m/r:(copy|view)-mode,#{pane_mode}},0,1}}}" "select-pane -t= ; send -M" "display-menu -t= -xM -yM -T \"#[align=centre]#{pane_index} (#{pane_id})\" \"#{?#{m/r:(copy|view)-mode,#{pane_mode}},Go To Top,}\" < \"send -X history-top\" \"#{?#{m/r:(copy|view)-mode,#{pane_mode}},Go To Bottom,}\" > \"send -X history-bottom\" '' \"#{?mouse_word,Search For #[underscore]#{=/9/...:mouse_word},}\" C-r \"if -F \\\"#{?#{m/r:(copy|view)-mode,#{pane_mode}},0,1}\\\" \\\"copy-mode -t=\\\" ; send -Xt= search-backward \\\"#{q:mouse_word}\\\"\" \"#{?mouse_word,Type #[underscore]#{=/9/...:mouse_word},}\" C-y \"copy-mode -q ; send-keys -l -- \\\"#{q:mouse_word}\\\"\" \"#{?mouse_word,Copy #[underscore]#{=/9/...:mouse_word},}\" c \"copy-mode -q ; set-buffer -- \\\"#{q:mouse_word}\\\"\" \"#{?mouse_line,Copy Line,}\" l \"copy-mode -q ; set-buffer -- \\\"#{q:mouse_line}\\\"\" '' \"Horizontal Split\" h \"split-window -h -c #{pane_current_path}\" \"Vertical Split\" v \"split-window -v -c #{pane_current_path}\" '' \"#{?#{>:#{window_panes},1},,-}Swap Up\" u \"swap-pane -U\" \"#{?#{>:#{window_panes},1},,-}Swap Down\" d \"swap-pane -D\" \"#{?pane_marked_set,,-}Swap Marked\" s swap-pane '' Kill X kill-pane Respawn R \"respawn-pane -k\" \"#{?pane_marked,Unmark,Mark}\" m \"select-pane -m\" \"#{?#{>:#{window_panes},1},,-}#{?window_zoomed_flag,Unzoom,Zoom}\" z \"resize-pane -Z\""
