claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Allow customizing terminal/tab title (show working directory) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Allowing customization of the terminal title through a configuration option like titleFormat in settings could resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Introduce a titleFormat setting with placeholders such as {cwd}, {project}, and {basename} to enable customization of the terminal title.
• Consider adding a default format that includes the current working directory or project name to simplify the setup for users.
• Evaluate the feasibility of implementing this feature as a low-priority enhancement, given its "Nice to have" priority label.
• Review existing CLI commands and flags to ensure consistency with the proposed solution.

Example

// Example configuration option
const titleFormat = "{cwd} - Claude Code";

// Placeholder replacement logic
function replacePlaceholders(format, cwd, project, basename) {
  return format.replace("{cwd}", cwd).replace("{project}", project).replace("{basename}", basename);
}

// Usage
const customizedTitle = replacePlaceholders(titleFormat, "/path/to/project", "My Project", "project");
console.log(customizedTitle); // Output: "/path/to/project - Claude Code"

Notes

The proposed solution requires careful consideration of the implementation details, such as handling edge cases and ensuring consistency across different operating systems.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a titleFormat setting to allow users to customize the terminal title, as this is a low-priority feature request and may not be addressed immediately.
