Description of the new feature/enhancement

Add a "pinned message" in the top of a split terminal.

I run multiple developments projects at the same time and I'm often forgetting which split terminal is for which project.
I often have my terminal window split in 4 to rapidly access the "npm watchers" of each of my projects. However sometimes I forget which split pane is for which project and it's annoying.
I would like to know the last executed command in the terminal and from which directory this command has been executed from.
A pinned message in the top of the split pane would do very nicely.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Whenever I run a command in a split terminal' I would like for the last command to be pinned in the top of this specific split terminal.
