Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be helpful to be able to duplicate an open tab.

Use Case:
I am going into a repo that has two npm scripts, one to run the frontend and one to run the backend. So I run npm run frontend, great my frontend server is running. Now I want to go into the same folder on a second terminal window and run the other command npm run backend.

Right now I would need to open a new window and manually navigate to the window. It would be very convenient to either right-click in the terminal or on the terminal-tab and have a "duplicate tab" option which opens a new tab in the same folder as the duplicated tab.

This is something we've discussed before, briefly in #1536, but the main meat of the issue is the following:
