Description of the new feature/enhancement

Hello, I come from iTerm2 on macOS and several linux distros where the most useful part about starting a new tab or window or splitting the current view horizontally or vertically is to be able to be right back where you were in the previous session.

I don't know if this use case is all that unique given the ubiquitous availability of this behavior on other terminal emulators, so I think it would be a step forward.
