Originally created by @wduraes on GitHub (Jun 24, 2020).

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".

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Jun 24, 2020):

So, you can set this up yourself. Right now, we offer three bindings (by default);

  • alt+shift+d: open auto-sized split with the current active profile
  • the two you are talking about, which open the default profile

Fortunately, you can configure customize any key binding. For the split pane ones, you can add "splitMode": "duplicate"
