Add ability to change tile name

[junquera]

I miss the possibility of change the name of a tile, like in other terminals like terminator. When I have a lot of tiles (for example multiple ssh sessions) it's very usefull setting the name. Something like this:

I would be proud of doing this and making the pull request, but I don't know how to start and if it could be usefull to other users.

Use the Hamburger menu on the right and select the Name... option. I agree though when tabs are enabled it should be more intuitive.

I use a lot the bookmarks features of Tilix. It would be great if the Name... option would have the option to use the Bookmark Name. Or as junquera requested, to change the name of the tile.

+1 on #1355, double clicking on a tab name to edit the name

Is there a command line way to set the tile name? If not, please also provide a way.

I noticed that hamburger menu is only available when not in quake mode... is there a way to change in while in quake mode?

[gnunn1]

The hamburger menu is always available in quake mode unless you have changed the window style to be "No CSD, Hide Toolbar" or "Borderless". And I'm just noticing with those modes active there's no way to add new tabs either, I'll open a new issue to look into it more.

Actually I thought this was a closed issue, I'll leave it here since it all goes together.

Hi everyone and @gnunn1 !

Which variable for bookmark for the terminal title?

I tried ${bookmarkName} or ${bookmark}

[arigit]

@gusbemacbe I don't think that is supported yet.

To summarize:

• to change the App title, click on the window title (in the title bar);
• to change a Session (tab) name: use the hamburger menu and select "Name..." (it would be nice if we could do this by just clicking the tab name in the tab bar);
• to change the current terminal name (tile name): I couldn't find any way to do this, other than creating the tile from the command line using the --title option (if anyone knows how to do this from the GUI as a one-off change for a specific terminal please chime in) - it would be nice if we could have a "Name..." entry in the menu that unfolds when clicking on the tile name in the tile top bar

To add to @arigit 's response above, it seems that changing the current terminal name (third bullet) is possible:

• Click on terminal's title
• Select Other -> Layout options
• Then set the title text under Active/Title Tested on Tilix 1.9.1.

I think that what javier was asking for was just allowing tab/session renaming on double click over the current title.

[crgithubmoth]

I also need this

Did you find a way? I did not, but I change the Shortcuts in the tilix configuration to F2 key to "Edit the session name" and fit to me

[ReverseControl]

Can we make this a shortcut? Please!! I organize things based on what I am doing and rename tabs frequently to keep track of stuff. A shortcut to rename the currently selected tab would highly productive.

Here is my trick :

Go to shortcuts, assign Layout Options some shortcut (i did Ctrl+Alt+W) then you just use the shortcut and rename any tab/window
