Mind that the Tab Namer no longer works with snow leopard nor it is needed (or the solution I mentioned). You can just edit the title (Shift-Cmd-I). Mind that you don’t have to press return to verify, just enter the name and press [escape].

dewey,

indeed – I learned that in the end. Though I’m actually using Terminal.app Tab Namer quite successfully ever since Eric wrote it.

nice tip. just a quick suggestion; instead of having to deal with $1 $2 $3 and such and possibly limiting yourself to a small number of arguments, you may instead use $@ to represent all arguments at the same time.

Hey, just wanted to get the word out that I have a SIMBL plugin for Terminal.app that lets you name your tabs. Its only alpha, but you should really check out Terminal.app Tab Namer

Hey – I found this post by doing a search on how to rename terminal.app’s tabs. The idea with the hard links is great. Thanks for posting this. Apple REALLY needs to fix this. I had been an iTerm user, but I’ve noticed some text and scrolling issues in 10.5. so I thought I’d give the new Terminal a try and the tabs naming would have been a deal breaker. Thanks!
