Duplicate Tabs

[Hamcker]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Ability to duplicate a currently open tab, the new tab will open in the same address with the same color schema.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I want a new option to be added to the context menu of tab (when user right clicks on the tab), which by clicking on it, a new with the same address will open.

Thanks for the request! We actually do have a duplicate tab option today, on ctrl+shift+d, which you can rebind with the duplicateTab action.
We're also tracking being able to copy a tab's working directory to a new tab with /dup #3158.

Thank you for your reply, this command doesn't route to the same addrsss.
for example In a tab I'm at the D:\Projects\Abcd\Docs, now I want to open a new tab in the same address, not shells default address. it would be usable I think

@Hamcker Sure won't - duplicating the current working directory of a tab is actually a Hard problem on Windows. I'd check out #3158 and
