It really rattled my cage when Gnome terminal was changed in 3.14 where you couldn’t set titles on your tabs. I had a hard time finding a good way so I found a method that worked and made a bash function. Add this to your .bashrc
set-title(){
ORIG=$PS1
TITLE="\e]2;$@\a"
PS1=${ORIG}${TITLE}
}
This method allows you to have spaces in your title too!
set-title my-title
set-title my really long title with spaces
I hope I made someones day with this one.
