Can I change this name (particularly the "i3" part) in an ad-hoc manner? The background is that I often open a stacked container for each ticket I'm working on, and tabbed sub-containers to hold particular detail windows. Most of windows are almost always "uzbl-core" or "urxvt", so the title will not tell me much about what ticket tit is (typically all stacked conts end up named just `i3: T[uzbl-core uzbl-core...]`). I think that assigning a nickname would help me a lot here.Tue, 25 Nov 2014 15:29:14 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5012/assign-name-to-a-split-container/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5012/assign-name-to-a-split-container/?comment=5013#comment-5013This is not possible yet. There is a (unfortunately defunct) [feature request for that](https://github.com/i3/i3/issues). Also, this is a duplicate of [this question](https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4136/setting-container-names/).Tue, 25 Nov 2014 19:01:02 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5012/assign-name-to-a-split-container/?comment=5013#comment-5013
