Hi Atanas,

I recently asked Nicolas Marriott the same question on Freenode/#tmux. The
pane_current_path functionality is disabled on OpenBSD because of
security reasons.

For that reason I added the following function to my ~/.profile. However,
it does not enable splitting without sending current processes to
background:

tsplit() {
if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
echo "error: not in tmux session" >&2
return 1
fi
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
if [ "$1" = "v" ]; then
tmux split-pane -v -c "$PWD"
elif [ "$1" = "h" ]; then
tmux split-pane -h -c "$PWD"
elif [ "$1" = "w" ]; then
tmux new-window -c "$PWD"
else
echo "error: split direction not understood" >&2
return 2
fi
else
tmux split-pane -h -c $PWD
fi
}

Best, Anders
