Description of the new feature/enhancement

Duplicate a session

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

There should be options to open at least the same directory in new tab. Like GNOME in Linux has CTRL + SHIFT + T, CTRL + SHIFT + N.

But when we are discussing about session, it should be more than opening in a specific directory.

Image we are working on CMD and a system variable is added, will the CMD knows about it? No.
If I have added a path. And I ask for that path in that CMD, will CMD be able to provide me with that. Now if I open up a new CMD, I will be able to access that path. So if we want to implement session, like we have a new key-set CTRL + SHIFT + D, we have to create another layer, where the CLI will be held. The top layer will just be view.

Opening a new tab in the same directory is #3158.

If you're expecting the new tab to also inherit environment variables from the current tab, I suspect that's not possible. Do you know of a Linux terminal that can do that?

@j4james I don't if any thing exists like this till now.
But maybe this this is possible.
I'll try to implement it on a small scale, and get back here as soon as possible.
Thanks.

So I know that "restore session" is technically different, but it's got a lot of the same requirements as "duplicate session". I've discussed this more over in #960 (comment) and linked threads. While restoring we might be able to get away with by hanging on to old sessions, duplicating the sessions would be generally impossible.

Let's also link up other relevant discussions:

I'm going to close this because I believe that it's not possible in the general sense, and that #3158 is going to cover the 99% use case (if that's even possible for us). Feel free to continue the discussion however and prove me wrong ☺️
