Originally created by @nc-x on GitHub (Oct 15, 2021).

Currently the context menu entry is hardcoded to "Open in Windows Terminal Preview" for the preview version.
This is very long string compared to everything else on the menu and therefore extends the width of the whole menu, so if possible please add an option to the settings to rename the context menu entry, or just change the default string to something smaller.

That happens after it updates from the store. With a clean install in Win11 I noticed the entry is as expected, just Open in Windows Terminal. After it updates for the first time, the entry name gets changed to Open in Windows Terminal Preview even the version it updated from is the stable from store, not the Preview.

Either an option to change the name of the entry of just making the store updates preserve the correct name would be fine.

This generally seems like a fine request, once we have any context menu customization at all. Thanks!
