Hi.

So I have a few profiles defined, I mainly use Windows plain cmd and Ubuntu from WSL. Sometimes I want to split my tab using splitPane. Which is great, but splitPane defaults to the default profile. I can fix this by specifying the profile field in splitPane configuration in my keybindings sections, but then it's fixed for all the tabs.

What I want to achieve is: when I split the pane of plain cmd I want the newly created pane to be a cmd. But when I split the pane in Ubuntu tab I want the newly created pane to be Ubuntu.

Is there a way to configure something like that via the settings.json?

Thanks in advance.
