Name

       kitten-@-set-tab-title - Set the tab title

Usage

       kitten @ set-tab-title  TITLE ...

Description

       Set  the title for the specified tabs. If you use the --match option the title will be set
       for all matched tabs. By default, only the tab in which the command is run is affected. If
       you do not specify a title, the title of the currently active window in the tab is used.

Options

       --match, -m
              The  tab  to  match. Match specifications are of the form: field:query. Where field
              can be one of: id, index, title, window_id, window_title, pid,  cwd,  cmdline  env,
              var,  state and recent. query is the expression to match. Expressions can be either
              a number or a regular expression, and can be combined using Boolean operators.

              The special value all matches all tabs.

              For numeric fields: id,  index,  window_id,  pid  and  recent,  the  expression  is
              interpreted as a number, not a regular expression. Negative values for id/window_id
              match from the highest id number down, in  particular,  -1  is  the  most  recently
              created tab/window.

              When  using  title  or  id,  first a matching tab is looked for, and if not found a
              matching window is looked for, and the tab for that window is used.

              You can also use window_id and window_title to match  the  tab  that  contains  the
              window with the specified id or title.

              The  index  number  is used to match the nth tab in the currently active OS window.
              The recent number matches recently active tabs in the currently active  OS  window,
              with zero being the currently active tab, one the previously active tab and so on.

              When  using  the  env field to match on environment variables, you can specify only
              the environment variable name or a name and value, for  example,  env:MY_ENV_VAR=2.
              Tabs  containing  any  window with the specified environment variables are matched.
              Similarly, var matches tabs containing any window with the specified user variable.

              The field state matches on the state of the  tab.  Supported  states  are:  active,
              focused,  needs_attention,  parent_active  and  parent_focused. Active tabs are the
              tabs that are active in their parent OS window. There is only one focused  tab  and
              it  is  the  tab  to which keyboard events are delivered. If no tab is focused, the
              last focused tab is matched.

              Note that you can use the kitten @ ls command to get a list of tabs.

       --help, -h
              Show help for this command

Global options

       --to   An address for the kitty instance to control. Corresponds to the address  given  to
              the  kitty  instance  via  the  --listen-on  option  or  the  listen_on  setting in
              kitty.conf. If not specified, the environment variable KITTY_LISTEN_ON is  checked.
              If  that  is also not found, messages are sent to the controlling terminal for this
              process, i.e. they will only work if this process is run within a kitty window.

       --password
              A password to use when contacting kitty. This will cause kitty to ask the user  for
              permission  to  perform the specified action, unless the password has been accepted
              before or is  pre-configured  in  kitty.conf.  To  use  a  blank  password  specify
              --use-password as always.

       --password-file [=rc-pass]
              A  file  from  which to read the password. Trailing whitespace is ignored. Relative
              paths are resolved from the kitty configuration  directory.  Use  -  to  read  from
              STDIN.  Use  fd:num  to read from the file descriptor num. Used if no --password is
              supplied. Defaults to checking for the rc-pass  file  in  the  kitty  configuration
              directory.

       --password-env [=KITTY_RC_PASSWORD]
              The  name  of  an  environment  variable  to  read  the  password  from. Used if no
              --password-file  is  supplied.  Defaults  to  checking  the  environment   variable
              KITTY_RC_PASSWORD.

       --use-password [=if-available]
              If  no  password  is  available,  kitty  will  usually just send the remote control
              command without a password. This option can be used to force it to always or  never
              use  the supplied password. If set to always and no password is provided, the blank
              password is used.

              Choices: if-available, always, never
