In one of the recent releases tmux switched from starting new panes in $PWD to $HOME. I am sure they had their reasons but the new behavior is terrible for me. To get the old behavior back (AKA new pane in current working directory) add the following to ~/.tmux.conf bind c neww -c '#{pane_current_path}'

thats terrible. starting in $PWD is the first thing I encountered that I loved about tmux as a multiplexer vs iterm

  You can do that in iTerm too. Preferences -> Profiles -> General -> Working Directory -> Reuse previous session's directory

  Yeah, I didn't know how much I needed starting at $PWD until I encountered tmux doing it that way.

You can also do it for window-splits: unbind '%' bind '_' split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}" bind '"' split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}“ Here, I am using <C-B>“ or <C-B>_ for a vertical and horizontal splits.

Are you sure its $HOME? I think it's just the dir you load your session in. I just opened a new tmux session in ~/Dropbox and all new panes open in ~/Dropbox. So do my windows.
