When in a directory, I sometimes want another terminal to be opened in the same directory.
For example, I'm in ~/code/someproject/src/
, and I open a new terminal, by default, it opens in ~
, how do I launch a new terminal in the current directory?
I'm running Arch Linux with urxvt as my terminal and i3 as my window manager.

There is a very informative thread over in the i3-faq forum that has various scripts/programs that tackle this very issue.

I went for the c program xcwd which really does a great job. It also works from within GUI programs.
