set window title to organization + artifactId + sbt command #7586
Description
I have many microservices. When developing my features, I start most of them using docker, but some of them I start with
sbt run
or
sbt
run
The title of my terminal then just says "sbt run" or "sbt", which makes it somehow hard to differentiate different windows/services, because I start them all with the same command, e.g. take a look at the following screenshot:
Now if I have 2+ windows, these will all look very similar. If I want to figure out what application is running in that window, I have to either stop the app to see the directory/prompt or try to guess from the log messages which service is running in that window.
It would be great if there was a way that sbt would set the window title to something like
"sbt run: myOrg % artifactId % version"
e.g.
"sbt run: com.dominikdorn.sbt % sample % 0.0.8-0-02777d76-20240620-2025"
I can set the title interactively in a sbt session using
sbt
console
print("\u001b]0;sbt run : com.dominikdorn % sample % 0.0.8-0-02777d76-20240620-2025 \u0
007")
CTRL+D
It would be great if sbt could do that out of the box on linux/unix terminals :-)
