set_title_tab(7)            Mac OS X Darwin ZSH customization           set_title_tab(7)



NAME
       set_title_tab  -  function  to update xterm, Terminal.app, konsole or iTerm.app title
       bar (and tabs, if present) to current $PWD after you cd into a new directory.

       This is the successor to settab and settitle functions (as well as the chpwd function).
       It avoids the explicit definition and use of special functions (as of zsh-4.3.4) such as
       chpwd, precmd, preexec, instead setting appropriate arrays. This is to prevent conflicts
       with user's prompt functions and so forth. (For older versions, it still uses these functions,
       but does so in such a way to try to minimize the chance of clobbering prior directives).  
      
       This is designed to put by default the computer name and whole directory path 
       into the title bar (and if availble) the $PWD and penultimate directory 
       in the tab. Also enables transient display of a running command (eg vim).
       Currently works with iTerm (OSX) and konsole (KDE) tabs, and should work
       with any standard X-like term (and Apple's Terminal.app).
