Improve terminal process name / title extraction about hyper

[lkzhao]

@rauchg
This plugin done by @parro-it seems pretty good at getting the title.

hyperterm-title

It grabs the title used by hterm and put it as the tab title.
Can you take a look? Maybe this should be the default behaviour.

Yeah … when using NeoVim (or Vim) (both installed via Homebrew) for example, it constantly jumps between bash, Python, Ruby and nvim.

@rauchg how are you extracting the process name? I have been trying to figure out how how to override it.

[parro-it]

@rauchg: if you'll decide to use my plugin way to set the title as the default, I will be happy to help with a PR

[rauchg]

@parro-it my understanding was that only a few programs use the escape code to set the title. Is that not the case?

[rauchg]

@parro-it if that technique is sufficient (not sure why I had concluded it wasn't), I would totally love a patch that includes your approach and removes ps polling

Not at all... E.g. I use zsh with pure prompt, it set the title to the cwd. VI set it to the name of editing file, etc..

I will happily do one soon... 😃

@parro-it you'll be improving the performance and UX of Hyper significantly 🙏 thank you, looking forward to it

[rauchg]

Also @lkzhao thanks for bringing this to my attention

You're welcome, I hope to do a good job 😄. Process polling is so expensive in term of performance?
