Description of the new feature/enhancement

I would like it if we could have a feature where splitting the terminal window opens on the same exact path.
Most of the time when I use the Split feature is because I am working on the same path and I am comparing changes, between the two windows.

A user who uses the split feature most likely is using it for:

  • accessing subfolders
  • Comparing changes
  • Running multiple commands

This feature would especially be powerful for Windows Powershell since it's native to the Windows ecosystem.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
