Description: With Gnome Terminal, when I press Ctrl-Shift-N in an existing terminal to open a new one, it sets its default working directory to the match the one from the previous terminal. I find this to be very useful behaviour. If I want to get back to the home directory I can just "cd", but if it were to start in the home directory then I'll have to type quite a lot to get to the directory in which I was working.

Could this be implemented in Guake as well, when opening new tabs? Perhaps it could be a setting in the preferences, if not everyone would like it.

Great work on this project!

There is an option in the preference to either start the new tabs in the ~ or start the new tabs in the current directory (as in the directory of the tab opened when you open the new one).

I don't think we will want something different.
