+# Set The Title Of A Window
+
+Kitty, I believe by default, will set the title of the current window to a
+previous run command.
+
+For instance, I often start out my terminal session by running a `tmux` command
+to create or join a tmux session. After this, the title of the window ends up
+sticking as something like `tmux new -s my-project`.
+
+Because I switch between various projects, I'd prefer the window title be
+something more generic. The window title can be manually set. To do this, open
+a 'New OS Window'—either from the menu or by hitting `Cmd-N`.
+
+Then run a `set-window-title` command with `kitty`.
+
+```bash
+$ kitty @ set-window-title --match id:1 code
+```
+
+The `--match id:1` tells `kitty` what window to target with this command.
+Because I only ever keep one window open, the `id` of that window is always
+`1`. If you're not sure which window `id` to target, you can list the windows
+and find the one you are looking for.
+
+```bash
+$ kitty ls
+```
