[Feature Request] Unamed tabs have dynamic names based on running commands

[victorniel]

When you don't name explicitly a tab, it should have names that change :

- when the shell is idling, it should display the username + machine
- when the shell is running a command, it should display the begining of the command

This way your tabs are informative by defaut. You are least know where and what's going on.

But one tab can have more than a one terminal, in this case which terminal can write to tab name? probably active terminal have to writing permission but what about others? I think coloring tab buttons is more useful ( when get exit status 0 green, 1 red idle blue etc.)

[victorniel (victorniel)]

It's not incompatible. You can use color and dynamic tab names. If you
got several shells in one tab, just name it "tab x (z)", where x is the
tab index, and z the number of running shells.

Most people using splitted windows will rename the tabs manually anyway.
