Set window title without tmux

[z0rc]

A bit more clarification. I tested each print from https://github.com/MikeDacre/tmux-zsh-vim-titles/blob/master/unified-titles.plugin.zsh#L65-L73, none of them works with KDE's konsole and TERM=xterm-256color.
But it's still possible to do so by issuing echo -ne "\033]30;$PWD\007", this command successfully changes konsole's windows title. I don't know how portable is this and whether it works with other terminal emulators.

Hi @z0rc, apologies for the delay, I was travelling.

The window title actually just refers to the tmux window, not the application window. The application window title is the terminal title, so you are right that the window title is tmux specific.

As for konsole, it should be possible to use the ASCII control characters you suggest, I would need to detect that konsole is being used though. Do you know of a way to detect that konsole is being used from the command line?

[z0rc]

% env | grep KONSOLE
KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE=:1.64
KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION=/Sessions/1
KONSOLE_DBUS_WINDOW=/Windows/1
KONSOLE_PROFILE_NAME=Main

For example vim terminus uses those env vars to detect Konsole. See https://github.com/wincent/terminus/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=KONSOLE&type=
