Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

Renaming terminal windows. Currently i have multiple terminal windows open to 'run' different services of my application. The tab header is called 'Terminal', 'Terminal 2', 'Terminal 3', etc...
Would it be possible to allow the user to rename them, or auto-name them based on the context they are running?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Clarify whether users should rename terminal windows manually, have them named from running context, or support both approaches. Done means terminal windows have useful, unambiguous names that remain understandable when multiple services are open.
