Display current pane's current directory in status

Question

Is there a way to update pwd in tmux status, instead of showing it in PS1?

set -g status-left "#(pwd)"
set -g status-interval 1

doesn't work.

Answer 1

set -g status-left '#(pwd)' does set the pwd for me but it looks like that is a separate shell to the sessions you have open so always remains in /home/$user

You can set -g set-titles-string '(#pwd)' and that will follow your sessions.
