starting directory of new panes

[Mark Volkmann]

It used to be that when I opened a new pane in tmux it would be in the
directory of the pane I was in. Now new panes always start in my home
directory. I don't know what I could have done to change that behavior, but
I prefer the old way. Is there a setting for this?

I write release descriptions for a reason:

Here's what I have in my .tmux.conf file:

bind | split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind - split-window -v -c "#{pane_current_path}"

I think according to the release notes that should open the new pane in the
current directory, but it isn't.

I also pressed prefix-: and entered the following:
split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
That also opened a new pane, but not in the current directory.

Mac OS X

I'm not seeing the problem on OS X. Did you build tmux yourself, or
did you install it via macports, homebrew, or fink?

Check your .profile (or .bash_profile) and see if you've got a "cd"
command in there.

That behavior changed a while back.

Here is my workaround:
bind '"' split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind '%' split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind 'c' new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"

The only problem here is, that if you open a split or new window from
e.g. man you'll land in /usr/doc/ instead of PWD.
