how to set that Opening a tab/pane in the same directory in Windows Terminal(oh-my-posh)

[sixwaaaay]

I followed the instruction on how to set that Opening a tab/pane in the same directory in Windows Terminal
I add this to my $profile.

function prompt
{
  $loc = Get-Location

  $prompt = & $GitPromptScriptBlock

  $prompt += "$([char]27)]9;12$([char]7)"
  if ($loc.Provider.Name -eq "FileSystem")
  {
    $prompt += "$([char]27)]9;9;`"$($loc.Path)`"$([char]7)"
  }

  $prompt
}

but when I restart the window terminal , oh my posh does't work .
how can I make it work

[JanDeDobbeleer]

You can't use that snippet as it overrides the current prompt (and thus removes oh-my-posh). You can however set osc99 to true when using Windows Terminal.

@JanDeDobbeleer Just wondering how I set this option? Is there any way to extend a theme without creating a copy like whats recommended in the docs?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@eglavin no, you need a local copy to adjust.

[eglavin]

Perfect thanks for the quick reply!

@JanDeDobbeleer I've added "pwd": "osc99" to the theme's json file which I'm using right now and it still doesn't open the new tab in the same directory, also tried "osc99": true but no luck

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Works on my end, you need to duplicate the tab or split the tab for this to work though. It does not work when you add a new tab.

[pranavpa8788]

I have my newtab keybinding set to duplicate the tab. But even when I do it manually (duplicate tab/split tab) it doesn't work. I've tried
"pwd": "osc99"
and
"osc99": true"
and all kinds of combination of the above two (including uppercase and lowercase) and none of them worked.
oh my posh version: 11.3.1
windows 11 (22H2 22621.521)
windows terminal version: 1.15.2713.0
powershell version: 7.2.6
oh-my-posh theme: capr4n

Below is the oh-my-posh init line in my powershell profile
$env:Path += ';C:\Users\my_user\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\bin'

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'oh_my_posh_capr4n.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression

And below is the oh_my_posh_capr4n.omp.json file

@pranavpa8788 don't know what happens here. The setting is correct and toggling that on my end makes a difference in working and non working directory persistence. Oh-my-posh will always add that context, so maybe there's a Windows Terminal setting that toggles this.

[MartyIX]

I'll summarize it for me to do it faster next time.

1. Make sure your C:\Users\<user>\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 profile contains a line like oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH/unicorn.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression
2. Use code $env:POSH_THEMES_PATH/unicorn.omp.json to open the file VS code (or any other editor)
3. Modify the file as follows:

   {
     "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/main/themes/schema.json",
   + "pwd": "osc99",
     "blocks": [
       {
         "alignment": "left",
       ...

doesnt work for me

Additional context:
This doesn't seem to work when using split pane, split: down (alt+shift+minus) and split pane, split: right (alt+shift+plus) shortcuts.
However, duplicate pane (alt+shift+d) and duplicate tab (ctrl+shift+d) work just fine.

[aleksmark98]

You need to add a custom action for splitting the pane and set the "splitMode" to "duplicate".
I've added the following actions to overwrite default behavior and make split panes launch in the same directory as the current pane.

      {
            "command": 
            {
                "action": "splitPane",
                "split": "horizontal",
                "splitMode": "duplicate"
            },
            "keys": "alt+shift+-"
        },
        {
            "command": 
            {
                "action": "splitPane",
                "split": "vertical",
                "splitMode": "duplicate"
            },
            "keys": "alt+shift+plus"
        },
