Renaming a window in tmux

I use bind-key + ,

to rename my windows, but as soon as I type the command, the name reverts to my current working directory.

Can I make the window name permanent?

The auto rename feature is enabled. Add to your .tmux.conf

file (and / or run from the command line for it to take effect immediately):



set-window-option -g automatic-rename off

Per this superuser answer , I made the following change ~/.tmux.conf

:



# NO, window name keeps changing
# set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

# YES, window name sticks
set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
