A new file's path should default to the path of the previous open file

[tjconcept]

Upon saving a new file, the path should default to the path of the most recently opened saved file.

Sublime Text does this, and it is, in my own experience, much more likely to be correct or at least closer to where I want the file, as opposed to the project root.

Agreed. My most common use case is that I am creating a new bash script, modifying an existing one. I am most likely to want to save it in the same directory as the existing one.
