Description of the new feature/enhancement

I didn't found any settings to stay on same path after create a new window. It would be awesome, because when you open many terminals you need to put "cd..." to choose the path again.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Put an option like "Persistent path" or a shortcut when clicking on "+" to add tabs, then the next tab will open with the actual tab path.

@felps-dev there's a setting in "General" called "Starting directory". Check "Use parent process directory" to spawn terminals in the directory from which WT was launched. Just a suggestion in case you didn't try this option yet.
