http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2007/08/16/open-new-terminal-window en-us 40 Musings from a Ruby on Rails development team <p>I&#8217;ve always thought it would be nice to be able to quickly open a new terminal window in the <strong>same</strong> folder you were already in.</p> <p>Enter a <a href="http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/32086">handy little script</a> Randy pointed me to that does just that.</p> <p>I put it in my home directory and then added this to my .bash_login:</p> <code> alias new='. ~/openterminal.sh' </code> <p>Now, I can just type &#8216;new&#8217; at any prompt and up pops a new Terminal window which automatically cd&#8217;s to the same directory I was in.</p> <p>Super handy! Thanks Randy!</p> Thu, 16 Aug 2007 20:37:00 -0400 urn:uuid:4bdde287-fd78-435c-aa19-ba57da624a2c Colin A.

I often use the unix screen utility to get this sort of effect (available via macports). But this technique would let me use my ctrl-a without having to think about it.
