Describe the solution you'd like?
In launch configuration I start a couple of tabs and ssh in each one of them. I would like the ability to automatically change the directory once I ssh. I tried using the commands such as `ssh -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "cd /directory_wanted ; bash --login"` in the launch configuration, but then the shell isn't warpified.
