Is it possible to add a 'current working directory' event to the public API in a reliable way?

See original GitHub issue

I’m wondering if it would be possible to add an event to the public API (like the title event, for instance) so that the current working directory was always passed to that event on every cd change.

Is it possible to implement such a feature in a reliable way that it doesn’t matter if you’re using Bash, Zsh or any other shell?

@rfgamaral yeah windows/WSL is different, the right place for this request is https://github.com/Microsoft/node-pty but there isn’t really any way of doing it there either that I know of.

@Tyriar The problem is that that doesn’t work under WSL because lsof is running on the context of the OS running Hyper, meaning Windows.

I have a found a workaround to find the cwd when running under WSL which uses lsof too but runs with bash -ic "cmd" and it’s a bit slower. Not to mention that the workaround itself is probably around 90% reliable, there might be some edge cases where it fails.

That’s why I was looking for a better way, something implemented directly on xterm.js, but I guess that ain’t possible.
