Tabs are very useful feature, but as you open more and more tabs, it becomes difficult and confusing to keep track of which tab is for which purpose unless you the tab. It will be better if we can rename the Tab and give it a friendly name.

The way we can implement the tab renaming from functional point of view is:

1 - Right click -> Rename

Right click on a tab which user wants to rename, this will open up context menu and from context Menu, user will select Rename.

Title of the tab will change into a TextBox, and user will be able to write Tab name, and on hitting enter key on the keyboard or clicking anywhere outside the textbox will apply the tab title. If user presses ESC key, we will discard the changes.

2 - Double click - tab title

Title of the tab will change into a TextBox, and user will be able to write Tab name, and on hitting enter key on the keyboard or clicking anywhere outside the textbox will apply the tab title. If user presses ESC key, we will discard the changes.

Final result will look like:
