TIL: How to Title Your Terminals When Running Tmux
I have been tmux with the foot terminal and when trying to share my screen I couldn’t work out which terminal to share
based on the name. Since they are running tmux, all the terminals were titled terminal - t.
To fix this and name it after what is running (and where) in tmux, i.e. foot blog/nvim. We can do this by adding the
following to our tmux config:
set-option -g set-titles on
set-option -g set-titles-string "#S / #W"
Here, the #S is the session name and #W the window name; hence, we get something like the above. Though you could use
lots of other different formats 1.
This is enough for me to figure out which window to share.
