-# Open New Splits To The Current Directory
-
-I typically work in one project per tmux session. When I create a given tmux
-session, the default directory is for that project. All new windows and pane
-splits will open at that default directory. This generally is the default
-behavior I want.
-
-One caveat: I often open a new window within an existing session that I want
-anchored to another directory. This could be because I'm working in a monorepo
-and I need to work from a subdirectory for a specific package or app. Or it
-could be that I'm temporarily digging into another project and it isn't worth
-create a whole new session.
-
-Regardless of the reason, I run into a bit of friction with tmux's defaults.
-
-First I open the new window and `cd` to another project. After some working, I
-need to open a split pane, maybe to run a project command like a build or dev
-server. Hitting `prefix-"` (horizontal split) or `prefix-%` (vertical split)
-opens a pane with the shell defaulting back to the original directory, not the
-current directory.
-
-The trick to fixing this bit of friction is overriding the directory of pane
-splits. I can do that by adding the following to my `~/.tmux.conf`:
-
-```
-# Pane splits should open to the same path as the current pane
-bind '"' split-window -v -c "#{pane_current_path}"
-bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
-```
-
-Make sure to run `tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf` to apply these config changes.
-
-The `pane_current_path` is called a "Format" in tmux parlance. It resolves to
-the absolute path of the current pane's current directory. You can find all the
-formats in the manpage with this command: `man tmux | less +'/^FORMATS'`. You
-can also show yourself that this format resolves to what you expect by running
-`tmux display-message -p '#{pane_current_path}'`.
