There might be a configuration for urxvt that sets the window title?
This is what I use. It'll look at each terminal window on the current
tag, figure out the path, and then spawn a new terminal setting the
working directory to whatever was found to be the most common path.
Apologies for the poor formatting.
-- Opens a terminal in the most common CWD for this tag
awful.key({ modkey, }, "Return",
function ()
paths = {}
pathname = ""
most_common_num = 0
most_common_str = ""
current_tag = tags[mouse.screen][awful.tag.getidx()]
for _, c in pairs(current_tag:clients()) do
pid = c.pid
if string.find(c.name, "Terminal") then
pathname = string.sub(c.name, 26)
if paths[pathname] == nil then
paths[pathname] = 1
else
paths[pathname] = paths[pathname] + 1
end
if paths[pathname] > most_common_num then
most_common_num = paths[pathname]
most_common_str = pathname
end
end
end
expanded_str = most_common_str:gsub("~", os.getenv("HOME") .. "/")
awful.util.spawn("xfce4-terminal --working-directory=\"" ..
expanded_str .. "\"")
end),
