On modern tmux line 8 seems to be rather:
tmux set -w automatic-rename "on"
@nippyin This code is not dependent on the terminal; it's for tmux (which you run inside the terminal), using the fish shell. If you're using tmux and fish inside kitty, you can use the code above.
If you don't use tmux, you can use kitty @ set-window-title
and kitty @ set-tab-title
to configure the kitty window. You'll have to add allow_remote_control
to your kitty.conf
file first.
If you use tmux but bash or other shell, adapt the function to your shell, or look online (people have made a number of versions).
Thanks it works.

Hi Mate, I know you asked to copy this code into fish terminal, I am using kitty, can you help to make it work here? All I need when I ssh to remote server I want to see title or status bar with remote hostname and when exit it, it should return to my local computer name.
