Open a new tab from the working directory of the current tab

[alexherbo2]

New tabs always start from the working directory before starting tab, rather than the tab where you were.

Example

tab home
Ctrl-t foo
cd projects/foo
kak # runs in projects/foo
Ctrl-t foo/server
make serve # runs in home

Ah, interesting. This would be a nice feature. The 'current directory' context was something I added for the fuzzy finder, so that switching between workspaces was more intuitive. It could be hooked into the new tab directory as well.

I'm also planning a new feature #242 in v0.6.0 that would help. When you want to open foo/server/ it would notice foo/ exists, and inherit the initial directory/YAML config of foo/

It looks a nice way to inherit / not inherit a working directory without configuration. Let’s see how it is in practice.
