Hey there, I made a patch a couple of months ago that changes the behavior of dynamic window titles, i.e. "search|name" + <esc>k<esc>\. The current screen behavior is to take just the command name, so that "vi /foo/bar" becomes a title of "vi". My patch changes this behavior to name the window the full string entered, i.e. "vi /foo/bar". I've been using it for the past couple of months and it seems very stable. The behavior can be toggled via "#define FULL_AKA". My co-workers and I find that it's much nicer to see what the full command is (if you have 4 different windows with vi open, it's nice to see which file each is editing). I have attached a patch which just modifies ansi.c and ansi.h to make this happen. Maybe the behavior should be enabled via the config file, but I wanted to keep the patch simple. Please let me know if there are problems or if something needs to be changed. Thanks, -- Erik P.S. Also, please CC me on any discussion involving this patch, since I am not subscribed to screen-devel.
