Indeed. I remember it from my "su -" binding which sets the title to the hostname. > When I SSH to another host, without any of the aforementioned PS1 > setting, I just see my window name set to "ssh".

With tmux_title, the title is static until it is changed again (centerim does it itself if screen support is turned on; haven't seen any other apps that do this) which is why I have sub-vim shells not set it to blank. Because of this, it should be possible to just output the escape sequence in the default shell's configuration file if an SSH session is detected to set the user@host and it would stick. Just need to use #T and #W in the status format string. --Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
