Research direction

Start by locating the tab context-menu handling and the code that opens a new tab at a directory. Implement a Duplicate action that opens an adjacent tab in the same directory, then verify the behavior against the existing tab-opening flow.

Describe the solution you'd like?
I'd like to be able to right click on a tab, have a "Duplicate" option, click it.
This would open a new tab next to the one I right clicked on, opened to the same directory of the tab I right clicked on.
Note: this is directly inspired from Firefox/Chrome "Duplicate tab".
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I have one tab opened in a given directory, and that I want to launch 2 processes in this directory, it's tedious to open a new tab and go to the same directory as the 1st tab to launch the 2nd process there.
