Pull Request Review: feat: rename tmux pane

Summary

This PR adds automatic pane renaming to the tmux configuration, displaying the current directory basename and running command.

Code Quality ✅

Positive aspects:

  • Clean, minimal change that adds a single focused feature
  • Follows tmux best practices for automatic renaming
  • Consistent with existing configuration style
  • Uses tmux format variables correctly (#{b:pane_current_path} and #{pane_current_command})

Observations:

  • The format '#{b:pane_current_path}:#{pane_current_command}' is a sensible choice that provides useful context
  • Using #{b:pane_current_path} (basename) rather than full path keeps pane titles concise

Potential Issues 🔍

Minor considerations:

  1. Format string quoting: The single quotes around the format string are appropriate and prevent shell expansion

  2. User preference: Automatic renaming overrides manual window names set with rename-window. Some users may prefer manual control. Consider documenting this behavior or making it configurable.

  3. Long command names: If a command has a very long name, the pane title might become unwieldy. The current format should work well in most cases though.

Best Practices ✅

  • Follows tmux configuration conventions
  • Uses appropriate tmux format variables
  • Consistent indentation and style with existing config

Performance Considerations ✅

No performance concerns. Tmux handles automatic renaming efficiently with minimal overhead.

Security Concerns ✅

No security issues identified. The configuration only affects local tmux display and doesn't execute external commands.

Test Coverage ⚠️

Observation: This repository doesn't appear to have automated tests for tmux configuration. While testing tmux configs can be challenging, consider:

  • Manual testing steps to verify the feature works as expected
  • Documentation of expected behavior in commit message or PR description
  • Visual verification that pane names update correctly when changing directories or running commands

Suggested Improvements (Optional)

  1. Add a comment explaining the automatic-rename format for future maintainers:

    # Automatically rename panes to show current directory and command
    set-option -g automatic-rename on
    set-option -g automatic-rename-format '#{b:pane_current_path}:#{pane_current_command}'
  2. Consider making it toggleable via a keybinding if users want manual control:

    bind r setw automatic-rename
  3. PR description: Consider adding a brief description explaining the motivation and what the change does (e.g., "Enables automatic pane renaming to display current directory and running command for better context when working with multiple panes")

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE with minor suggestions

This is a solid, focused change that enhances tmux usability. The code is correct and follows best practices. The optional suggestions above are minor enhancements that could improve maintainability and user experience, but the PR is good to merge as-is.
