Hi guys, I'm really excited to start using this feature!

I couldn't really find anything related to it, so I am asking here. Would it be possible to bind a shortcut key to the rename action, so that it open up the rename box once pressed?

I quite often rename my windows once I repurposed them and would love not to have to take my hands of the keyboard. Let me know if I should create an issue for it.

Thoughts from the top of the dome:

  • Add a "title" param, and if it's unset (default), jump straight into the renaming of the tab. Otherwise, just set the tab override to the given "title".
  • If we ever add "pane renaming" with a similar mechanism, then how would we name the binding so we could do either tab renaming or pane renaming?

Huh, this was totally closed by #7462, and shipped in 1.5
