Re: tmux: How to create a new window with the same path (from the current pane)

Cheers, Anders Thanks Anders, That works as it should :)

Hello,
The following works on Linux:
```
bind c new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
```
but the `pane_current_path` variable does not exists on OpenBSD.
Does anyone now how can I achieve the same behavior on OpenBSD?
Hi Atanas,
I recently asked Nicolas Marriott the same question on Freenode/#tmux.
The
pane_current_path functionality is disabled on OpenBSD because of
security reasons.
For that reason I added the following function to my ~/.profile.
However,
it does not enable splitting without sending current processes to
background:
tsplit() {
if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
echo "error: not in tmux session" >&2
return 1
fi
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
if [ "$1" = "v" ]; then
tmux split-pane -v -c "$PWD"
elif [ "$1" = "h" ]; then
tmux split-pane -h -c "$PWD"
elif [ "$1" = "w" ]; then
tmux new-window -c "$PWD"
else
echo "error: split direction not understood" >&2
return 2
fi
else
tmux split-pane -h -c $PWD
fi
}
Best, Anders
Hi Anders,
Thanks for your reply.
So, if I understand your example right, I need to do something like
`bind c new-window -c "$PWD"` in my .tmux.conf.
The problem is that it works partially - if I'm in
`/home//` and start tmux there,
the $PWD is correct, but when I change the directory and create a new
window with `C-b c` it moves me to the initial $PWD (when the tmux was
started)
instead of the current directory.
Does anyone know how to make it work as I desire, or it's not possible?
Thanks in advance,
Atanas
