When Claude Code runs, it sets the terminal title via OSC escape sequences to just the version number (e.g. 2.1.128). This shows up as the window/pane name in tmux and as the tab title in terminal emulators, where the bare version is uninformative without the product name.

Suggested fix: set the title to something like Claude Code v2.1.128 (matching the string shown in the application's own header) so users can identify Claude Code sessions at a glance among other tmux windows or terminal tabs.

Version: 2.1.128

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the terminal title setting in Claude Code to include the product name, such as "Claude Code v2.1.128", for better identification in tmux and terminal emulators.

Guidance

  • Identify the part of the Claude Code that sets the terminal title via OSC escape sequences.
  • Modify this section to prepend the product name "Claude Code v" to the version number.
  • Verify that the change updates the window/pane name in tmux and the tab title in terminal emulators correctly.
  • Consider making the title format configurable for users who may have different preferences.

Notes

The exact implementation details depend on how Claude Code currently sets the terminal title, which is not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the terminal title setting as described, to improve usability without waiting for a potential future version update.
