Comment (by bonefish):

 Would be nice indeed. Konsole has that feature, too and I find that it is
 mostly what one wants when opening a new tab. The Terminal side should be
 easy enough to implement. The only problem is that we don't have a way to
 get the current working directory of another team yet. Adding a respective
 syscall wouldn't be hard either, but before we start adding individual
 syscalls for stuff like this, we should consider a more generic API for
 getting information about a team. A procfs would be an option, but that
 comes with the overhead of a file system and also requires parsing the
 information read. Maybe something like:
 {{{
 status_t get_extended_team_info(team_id teamID, uint32 flags, BMessage&
 info)
 }}}
