turn off window and tab titles for running commands

[alperyilmaz]

Describe the bug

onwards of version 0.24, when I run a command, I see the command being executed shown in tab title and also in window title.

Your release notes indicate that "The current working directory or the command being executed are automatically displayed in the kitty window titlebar/tab title"

is it possible to just having current working directory because each time I run a command the changing titles is distracting

I know shell integration is discussed in previous issues and especially #4476 touches on this topic but it looks like I couldn't find a config option to turn off command being executed part.

So, is it possible to just have working directory in tab/window titles?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install kitty 0.24 and above
2. run a command like sleep 5 and observe changes in tab/window titles

You need to configure shell_integration no-title and then output the title yourself in the shell. Or copy the integration script locally from the git repository and modify and configure it yourself. There is currently no configuration that specifically controls the output of the command.

Only very small changes are needed.

bash: commented out: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/v0.24.2/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash#L90

fish: No changes will be made to the title. Just configure fish's own fish_title.fish directly. https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/fish_title.html

Hi, reopen this thread...

I try the enable shell_integration no-title but not work for me:

shell zsh shell_integration no-title

When I executed for example:

watch -n0.1 uptime

The command appear in the tab

Then you have something else in your zshrc setting the title

Hi, thans for your soon response.

My .zshrc config is very basic:

Hi, with the .zshrc empty, the problem is the same... Using bash, works well.

I love kitty and I like solve this problem...

Is there any way to fix it? it's quite annoying

[kovidgoyal]

Look in all your zsh init files zshrc is not the only one. Regardless, I can tell you that shell_integration no-title works as expected.

[maykel535]

Thanks for your response.

My zshrc configuration is based solely on that file, I don't touch anything else. Plus the plugins I install.

The same .zshrc configuration in konsole I do not have this problem in the tab.

Is there any way to know what is causing it to not work correctly? launching kitty in debug mode could you see something?

I have tried creating a new user on my Ubuntu using zsh by default, without installing anything plugins...etc in zsh and I confirm that the same thing happens, it does not work.

If you run the command:

watch -n0.1 uptime

appears in the tab
