Open another window but keep the previous window's process directory

[joutvhu]

Currently, I can open Windows Terminal in a folder through the Context Menu → Open in Windows Terminal, but it only works with default profile.
When I want to open with another profile there is no way to keep the old process directory.

I think we can add a new feature are where holding down a certain key (maybe Ctrl) while opening a new window, then using the previous window's process directory for new window.

Thanks 😄

Suspect you could just run wt -d ., but perhaps we should support this.

this is already on the Shell-Extension backlog as "subsequent tabs...." something or other FYI

I think it would be more helpful if there was a way to open it quickly. This is as complicated as using cd <directory>

This looks distinct from #8933, so I've tagged it up for the backlog.

Ooh this sounds a like like a combo of:

• Open different shell in same directory #10232
• Add a explorer context menu entry to let the user pick the profile they want to "open here" #6111
• Other options for overriding profile starting directory #4637

@joutvhu you think any of the above three would fill this gap for you?

I think the case #6111 seems to be more used.

Great! I'm gonna close this out as a dupe then, for janitorial purposes. Thanks!

/dup #6111
