I updated my Zsh config today, just to make terminal tabs (in Kitty) show the current running process, instead of the default $SHELL. Looks much nicer!
TL;DR Add this to your .zshrc or wherever you put custom settings:
preexec() {
# See, e.g., https://www.davidpashley.com/articles/xterm-titles-with-bash/
print -Pn "\e]0;$1\a"
# or, equivalently,
# printf "\x1b]0;%s\x07" "$1";
}
precmd() {
# Clean up terminal title (in case Neovim doesn't restore it to its initial state)
# printf "\033]0;\a"
# or print relevant stuff
# (%~ current working directory; %1~ directory name only)
print -Pn "\e]0;%1~\a"
}
