## Shell Integration
wezterm supports integrating with the shell through the following means:
### OSC 7 Escape sequence to set the working directory
`OSC` is escape sequence jargon for *Operating System Command*; `OSC 7` means
Operating System Command number 7. This is an escape sequence that originated
in the macOS Terminal application that is used to advise the terminal of the
current working directory.
An application (usually your shell) can be configured to emit this escape
sequence when the current directory changes, or just to emit it each time
it prints the prompt.
The current working directory can be specified as a URL like this:
```bash
printf "\033]7;file://HOSTNAME/CURRENT/DIR\033\\"
```
**When the current working directory has been set via OSC 7, spawning
a new tab will use the current working directory of the current tab,
so that you don't have to manually change the directory**.
If you are on a modern Fedora installation, the defaults for bash and
zsh source a `vte.sh` script that configures the shell to emit this
sequence. On other systems you will likely need to configure this
for yourself.
### OSC 7 on Windows with cmd.exe
`cmd.exe` doesn't allow a lot of flexibility in configuring the prompt,
but fortunately it does allow for emitting escape sequences. You
can use the `set_environment_variables` configuration to pre-configure
the prompt environment in your `wezterm.toml`; this example configures
the use of OSC 7 as well as including the time and current directory in
the visible prompt with green and purple colors, and makes the prompt
span multiple lines:
```toml
[set_environment_variables]
prompt = "$E]7;file://localhost/$P$E\\$E[32m$T$E[0m $E[35m$P$E[36m$_$G$E[0m "
```
