Might be a little bit of a silly question. The problem is simple, I tend to have two panes, one where I write code, and the other to compile it. I do that with the windows terminal (cmd + vim + Mingw), but something is bothering me. I can split the panes perfectly but after that I have to change directory to the project directory on both panes.. it is really a minor annoyance, but would it be possible for, when I split panes, the second pane going going directly to the directory of the first?

if it's silly, I'm really sorry

If you're still interested in this, it looks like it will be added to Windows Terminal soon.

In the interim, I use tmux to workaround this issue.

  • Thanks for linking that thread and suggesting tmux. I do have a somewhat speculative question though: are you sure that it will be? They removed the "In-PR" tag ("in production", I assume), so it could be 'done', but the issue hasn't been closed, and they removed that tag a month ago. – Mxt Jan 14 '21 at 18:52
  • I think it's a feature that will always be of interest to me! I have since moved to emacs tho.. so I am not using the same set up anymore, but I am thankful that you shared that here :) – Afonso Rafael Jan 16 '21 at 12:50

I recommend to you use no-native terminals for that kind of tasks, like cmder, conemu. These consoles have solutions for split pane.
