#feature Request: Update Label

[hanimay]

Lovely plugin.
Can we prepend or append the label with a title, when we mouse over the tab name ?
It's not easy to remember colors when working on multiple projects and I always find myself reading the whole URI of the file, So a label would make it much easier.
Thanks :)

Hey, thanks :)

So apparently from what I checked, its impossible to change the tab name (weird)
Its according to this stackoverflow question

We could do something in the titlebar though, would that be helpful?

[hanimay]

Not the tab itself but the label that shows up when you mouse over the tab.
Is that possible to change ?

[oreporan]

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to edit the hover text of the tab

Here is a list of things you can change on the tab according to vscode -

I see.
I did a quick look at the documentation, I think we can benefit from status bar to do that.

What do you think ?

[oreporan]

to pop up a status bar every time you switch files?

[hanimay]

Ah no, check the sample, second link.

[oreporan]

I did :)
I see a status bar that pops up to say how many lines you have - I assumed you mean to pup up this status bar to show some label?

[hanimay]

Ah ok :)
For me pop up is something that blocks my view .
Well it could always be visible

[oreporan]

I'm not sure its a good idea to add another status bar
How about using the title bar for this? I already color it based on the regex, could also at a label -

Currently its - ${activeEditorShort}${separator}${rootName}

We could change it to - ${regex_based_label}${separator}${activeEditorShort}${separator}${rootName}

[hanimay]

I had the impression that we can't do it .
The title bar would be amazing 👍
