Does anyone know of a Linux GUI terminal emulator that allows you to separately name tabs and windows?

I want to be able to have one terminal window containing a group of tabs and name them individually, e.g. title "trigger-crossbar" with tabs named "main uart", "main gdb", "ibc uart", etc.

Right now I'm using Konsole which allows tab names, but the top level window title is always the active tab name as far as I can tell.

@buherator That looks like it'll work, I just don't like having to use keyboard shortcuts to set tab titles. Better than nothing I guess.

@azonenberg tilix can do that kind of. You can change the application/window title to include the session name, set by the --session argument.

The tab title is set the xterm way: \e]0;$title\a

@waldi Yeah i specifically want to override the default title

@azonenberg kitty can do this, with its scriptable “kittens”. I don’t think there’s a built in gui for it, but you could bind a key combo to it.

I’ll also be that guy and mention that terminal multiplexers like tmux and zellij are great for this sort of thing. I know the workflow doesn’t fit everyone, but worth checking out! I was hesitant to try them out for years, but I couldn’t live without it now.

@3cats I'm using screen, but my goal is to have a single X window with a bunch of screen sessions simultaneously active in different tabs.

@azonenberg @waldi There's an option in konsole to hide the title bar; so the thing you see at the top is just the tab list; not great, but maybe?

@penguin42 @waldi No, I specifically want to have several different tabs with the same name in different windows and be able to disambiguate.
