Terminal: Force splitPane to use the same shell

[dabljues]

Hi.

So I have a few profiles defined, I mainly use Windows plain cmd and Ubuntu from WSL. Sometimes I want to split my tab using splitPane. Which is great, but splitPane defaults to the default profile. I can fix this by specifying the profile field in splitPane configuration in my keybindings sections, but then it's fixed for all the tabs.

What I want to achieve is: when I split the pane of plain cmd I want the newly created pane to be a cmd. But when I split the pane in Ubuntu tab I want the newly created pane to be Ubuntu.

Is there a way to configure something like that via the settings.json?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can customize the splitPane binding to use a split type of duplicate. Check out the alt+shift+d binding that comes in your settings file as an example.

Don't have any examples in my settings.json (can I somehow check the default keybindings somewhere? - not in the docs, but like in some kind of file), but I used splitMode as you suggested. Thanks for a quick response, couldn't find this in docs.

Ah, you must have had a settings file that originated in Terminal <0.9 :smile: Thanks for following along so long!

You can see the default settings by holding down Alt when you click on settings (or hold Alt as you open settings with Ctrl+,)
