At the moment I created two functions in my .bashrc. One which saves pwd to a file and another one that reads it from a file and cd's into it. I'm looking for a solution where the focus would be on my current window (xterm) and while I press a keyboard shortcut to open another instance of xterm in the same dir. I think you get the idea - I think I'm starting to babble now:) Sun, 23 Nov 2014 12:28:43 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4999/start-a-new-instance-of-xterm-in-the-same-directory-as-im-working-now/Comment by mschaefer for <p>Hi there,</p> <p>How do I start a new instance of xterm in the same working dir as the one I'm in now?
