tabs have no names or identity #1206

Open shirishag75 opened 6 years ago

shirishag75 commented 6 years ago

Using the new guake, if I try for instance running firefox from the console, it runs but I do not ever know which tab it is in. It has happened many a times that a process (either like firefox) or something equally important got closed because there is no way to identify what is happening in a particular tab.

I know I could rename the tab but that is taking time away from doing the real work. The whole idea of guake is to be unobtrusive .

It seems to be similar to https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/1017, maybe it is, maybe it isn't . I leave it to the developer in case he feels it is to be merged with the other bug. 

~$ guake --version

this feature is indeed in need

I usually use jobs to see attached background tasks to a given terminal. It could be cool indeed to display in a tooltip or with a magic key the background tasks of a given tab

shouldn't this be modified for milestone 3.5.0 now then ?
