To tell tabs apart fast, you can give every terminal tab a name, just execute the following line inside that terminal window
echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007"I am doing this on the default gnome terminal in Debian 11/12 (Bullseye/Bookworm), older methods no longer work
You will have to execute this every time in every SSH window to a remote machine, I am looking into a way to making the name permanent !
Does this work with putty on windows?
YES ! I have just tested this with the latest putty (2024-11-02), two and a half years after posting this for terminal in gnome, and I can confidently say it does…
