DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Terminal Tab Title Setting

What

New terminalTitleFromRename boolean setting that controls whether the terminal tab title is pinned to the value from /rename or auto-updated based on conversation topic.

Usage

Set in settings.json or settings.local.json:

{
  "terminalTitleFromRename": true
}
Details
  • When true, the terminal tab title is set from /rename and not auto-updated based on the conversation topic
  • When false or absent, the previous auto-update behavior continues
  • This is useful for users who use /rename to set a meaningful session name and don't want it overwritten
Evidence
