Ok, figured out something that works... * John Magolske <listm...@b79.net> [120801 09:15]: > I'm trying to get the title of the active pane in the status line to > display $PWD when no command is active, and the current command when > a command is active.

So now, with these in ~/.zshrc : preexec () { local CMD=${1[(wr)^(*=*|sudo|ssh|-*)]} [[ "$TERM" == tmux* ]] && tmux rename-window "$CMD" } precmd () { [[ $TERM == tmux* ]] && tmux rename-window ${PWD//*\//} } And #W in ~/.tmux.conf like so: setw -g window-status-current-format '#I#F#W ' setw -g window-status-format '#I#F#W ' I can get the title behaviour described above. Additionally, a more verbose & customized title for Vim can be had with this in ~/.vimrc : set title " show 'V:filename' as window name set titlestring=\%(\%M%)V:%t Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
