I think there might be pane_start_path as well which would work for you.

Subject: Re: problem with new-window and current directory
well, from my point of view (and the way i usually work) that won’t be a
problem at all, and in any case I think it would still better the be back at
"/the/dir/I/was/in/before/running/whatever” rather than being put on “/“ and
then having to manually cd back to the correct dir
anyway I understand other people might think different, but I suppose that it
could still be configurable, e.g.
bind-key c new-window -c '#{pane_current_path} -> current behavior
bind-key c new-window -c ‘#{$PWD} -> suggested behavior
or maybe fallback to $PWD if the process directory is empty (not sure if Thomas
Adam meant that when he talked about subshells)
