How do I give each tab opened by a {Task} a custom name?
I have a ConEmu {Task} that opens several tabs, each to a different directory. The trouble is, these tabs all have the same name and are hard to tell apart. I know I can rename each tab by right-clicking it and selecting rename*, but is there a way of renaming each one automatically via the task configuration?
It would be super-handy being able to:
a) specify a custom title;
b) specify a variable title using the current directory.
(*what is the Apps+R shortcut, btw? I've never come across the Apps key before.)
Solution 1:
1) Modify contents of your task. Example:
>cmd /c RenameTab "Tab1" & tcc cdd C:\temp
cmd /k RenameTab "Tab2" & cd /d D:\
cmd /c RenameTab "Tab3" & stermc charlesr ...
And so on... Supposing, that %ConEmuBaseDir% exists in %PATH%. This can be done automatically with last ConEmu versions (option on ComSpec
settings page).
More short and preferable alternative is available in build 121109 or higher
>tcc cdd C:\temp "-new_console:t:Tab1"
cmd /k cd D:\ "-new_console:t:Tab2"
stermc charles "-new_console:t:Tab3"
2) As for CD
in title, you may use usual method. This works for cmd
and tcc
consoles. Example:
tcc prompt $E]2;"$P"$E\$P$G & cdd D:\
cmd prompt $E]2;"$P"$E\$P$G & cd /d D:\
Don't use 1
and 2
simultaneously. RenameTab
has precedence!
