Actually, this might not be an easy starter, we might need to do the annoying work of plumbing a font size out of the TermControl, and into the NewTerminalArgs, so that the new tab can be spawned with the same size. That's easy, but tedious work.

That's easy, but tedious work.

I was also expecting it to start in the same directory as the tab I just duplicated. If it just starts in the same as the starting directory how is duplicate tab different than just selecting the profile for a new tab?

Related to #13195

Oh now I understand. The name "Duplicate" has been erroneously assigned to the action in fact of starting a new tab of the same profile name.

Maybe the menu should be renamed "New tab" until a discussion would figure out what is and what is not achievable using the term "duplicate"? Because right now, the really only "duplicate" action performed is the profile name of the tab. Absolutely nothing else is "duplicated".

@zadjii-msft what do you think?

👍 I thought it works like start cmd but then found that it is just a new tab with the same profile.

Well, that's not exactly true. If you configure your shell to tell the Terminal the CWD, duplicate tab & pane will use that path instead of the path from the profile.

The other elements - Font, Color scheme, title - those still need to be implemented, of course. But duplicate is still super helpful for copying the CWD
