Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  • Hyper.app version: 2.0.0

Issue

I know this has been discussed before in #284, but as a SysAdm I frequently have to ssh to other machines and the current approach will fail, because you can no longer rename the tab through bash tricks.

I feel a better way could be the addition of another hyper command(rename-tab) in hyper-keymap and prompt the user in an os-level dialog and ask the new title.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the earlier discussion in #284 and the hyper-keymap entry point mentioned here. Define how a rename-tab command should prompt for a title and update the tab; done means the command works for terminal tabs without relying on shell-based renaming.
