I set my default profile as Linux/Ubuntu. But I have multiple profiles, one for Azure, one for SSH into my Raspberry pi, one for Git CMD, etc.

When I have -say- a CMD tab opened, and I create a subpanel (ALT/Shift/+ or ALT/Shift/-) a new subpanel will be opened - splitting the screen vertically/horizontally, but this new subpanel won't be a CMD subpanel, it will be an Ubuntu subpanel, because that's my default profile.

As a user, if I'm in a CMD tab, and I open a subpanel I would expect this to continue to be CMD, not the default profile.

One implementation approach could be to open subpanels to follow whatever the initial panel was (example: I opened a PowerShell tab, and create a subpanel, so I would see this new subpanel to be PowerShell too).

One alternative, could be a new setting to say: "open subpanels with the same type of the initial tab" or "open subpanels with the default profile".
