 |
|
Hi,
I'm currently trying to modify my bashrc.
To change the title of my xterm-Window:
| Code: | | printf "\033]0;asdf\007" |
TMUX and Screen have different Escape sequences. Google (and Claude AI) told me:
| Code: | | printf "\033kasdf\033\\" |
But neither in Tmux nor in Screen it seems to work. What am I doing wrong?

speaking for gnu-screen here as I don't tmux much:
Apparently there are two "titles" for gnu-screen, one is the label (C-a A) and other is the xterm escape sequence. The xterm escape sequence will be saved and ported over to the actual terminal as you switch, but does not affect the gnu-screen title which you have to use C-a A.
Which specifically are you trying to change? What environment are you trying to use?

It probably depends on what you want to do. I'm guessing you use a single screen or tmux session and want it to update the GUI window's title?
For tmux, probably this: | man tmux: | set-titles [on | off]
Attempt to set the client terminal title using the tsl and fsl terminfo(5) entries if they exist. tmux automatically sets these to
the \e]0;...\007 sequence if the terminal appears to be xterm(1). This option is off by default.
set-titles-string string
String used to set the client terminal title if set-titles is on. Formats are expanded, see the “FORMATS” section. |
If you're using multiple windows within tmux, a comma (that is C-b, unless you've remapped C-b). Then there is also a pane title.
The "NAMES AND TITLES" section of the tmux man page may help.
