Is that inteded?
Yes. I dislike this behaviour by default but I do find it useful on occasion, so I use this: set -g default-path . bind C new-window -c "" this lets me do <prefix>-c to open a new window normally (working directory being the same as tmux was started in) and <prefix>-C for the new behaviour (i.e. if I'm somewhere in a deep path and don't want to cd manually), which works well for me.
