SSH on a Mac: opening a second shell without losing your place

You are halfway through debugging on a remote host. A command is still running, but you need another shell to inspect a log. Do you reconnect, pass through the jump host again, and find your working directory all over again?
This small interruption is why I added Duplicate Tab to xtty. It opens an independent SSH connection to the same host in the same remote directory, while the original session stays where it is. Watch that moment in our walkthrough:
I would love to compare workflows: do you use tmux, another terminal tab, an IDE, or something else for a second remote shell? What part still feels unnecessarily repetitive?
