.TH "FISH_TAB_TITLE" "1" "Nov 13, 2025" "4.2" "fish-shell"
.SH NAME
fish_tab_title \- define the terminal tab's title
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBfish_title\fP
\fBfish_tab_title\fP
.fi
.sp
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.EX

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBfish_title\fP function is executed before and after a new command is executed or put into the foreground and the output is used as a titlebar message.
.sp
The first argument to \fBfish_title\fP contains the most recently executed foreground command as a string, if any.
.sp
This requires that your terminal supports \fI\%programmable titles\fP and the feature is turned on.
.sp
To disable setting the title, use an empty function (see below).
.sp
To set the terminal tab title to something other than the terminal window title,
define the \fBfish_tab_title\fP function, which works like \fBfish_title\fP but overrides that one.
.SH EXAMPLE
.sp
A simple title:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.EX
function fish_title
    set \-q argv[1]; or set argv fish
    # Looks like ~/d/fish: git log
    # or /e/apt: fish
    echo (fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length=1 prompt_pwd): $argv;
end
.EE
.UNINDENT
