Description

The Powerlevel10k theme and (Oh My) Zsh customize my Terminal.app window title and tab title. But Hyper does not appear to integrate with either of these.

Would like to configure Hyper to simply use the nickname (e.g. ~) of the leaf directory in the current working directory, for each of my tabs.

Command Prompt can use %homedrive%%homepath% for that nickname. Most other modern, UNIX-like shell interpreters else can use ~, even the bastardized PowerShell.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Hyper's window and tab title handling and any shell-integration code, then verify how the current working directory is exposed. Done means tabs can show the leaf directory nickname, including ~ for the home directory, while remaining compatible with the mentioned shells.
