Rename Tabs
-
@lonm This command chain doesn't permanently rename the tab, which is what I would expect the feature request to do.
-
@lonm said in Rename Tabs:
javascript:(function()%7Bdocument.title=prompt('Rename Tab',document.title)||document.title%7D)()
Why can't this be a feature in the context menu...why do we need to know how to use some weird code to do it? I can't even figure out how to use this code. When I paste into my address bar, I just get a google search results page for the code.
-
@msangeld This request is a niche power user feature, so this code is provided for anyone who wants to set up a custom command as this feature might not get implemented soon.
I appreciate that it might not be easy to use if you are not familiar with the code.
If it is not working, make sure that the
javascript:
part is still there when you paste it, sometimes it gets removed. -
If you want to permanently rename the tab, look this post:

@barbudo2005 Thank you, that helps me greatly
-
@pesala You mention that there is a way to Rename a Tab Stack in the Tab Context menu – How does one do that? I cannot find an option to Create a name for a Tab Stack.
-
- If using two-level stacks, right-click on the first level
- If using accordion stacks, collapse the stack

Thanks for that, @barbudo2005. How do I get to the menu you show in that post? I have the script installed on TamperMonkey, and there's nothing like it that I see. Thanks.
-
You are right there is no menu now:
Put an * in the settings of the script:
And now you get the button for menu:
PD: I think the explanation is this:
A safety factor of Tampermonkey.
It is no longer possible to use:

@barbudo2005 Thank you. I appreciate your explanation. I added the User Includes and now I get the menu via the context menu. But it doesn't seem to be user friendly to me, in terms of what elements can be used in the rename.
I will stick with what I use, as it suits my abilities very nicely:

Thanks again.

I added my +1 to this post since I'd really like this to be a native feature without extensions or javascript. But was worried when I noticed this thread is tagged "WILL NOT DO". Does that remove all hope that this feature will be added or is that tag more of a "not anytime soon but not impossible"
-
@ncsa23523 Since this request has over 100 upvotes, I suspect that it has been rejected as impractical.
As a workaround, you could stack a single tab with a start page (or some other page related to the topic) and rename the tab stack.

@paul1149 Thanks for posting a link to the Tab Modifier tool, it seems to work very well, renaming tabs based on user-specified criteria every time they are reloaded, including of course on browser launch.

In other words, it doesn't 'permanently' rename tabs, but it does next best thing, namely using script automation to temporarily rename tabs, which will be sufficient for many, if not most, users looking for tab-renaming functionality.

This request has been reviewed again recently, and we decided to add it to the pipeline. For now, there are some workarounds available, but we'd like to offer this natively at some point.
-
The rename will be permanent or only for the session?
-
@barbudo2005 At this stage, I can't answer any questions regarding the implementation as the work hasn't started yet. There are many concerns that will have to be addressed once we start looking into it.
-
From my point of view it would have to be permanent to make sense.

From @dalinar request at https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/85486/let-user-label-a-tab-and-apply-a-colour-to-the-label:
Look this example of 6 tabs:
The first 3 are from the site:
https://librosquehayqueleer-laky.blogspot.comand the name is the same for them: " Libros que hay qu..."
The second 3 are from the site:
https://huellalibrosicc.blogspot.comand the name is the same for them: "La huella de los li..."
You can't tell which is which. This happens with many sites that put the name of the site at the beginning and not at the end, so all the subpages of the site start the same way.
Now look the same 6 tabs :
Each one has a different title that clearly shows the subject it deals with.
The good thing is that it is fully automatic, you only have to set the correction once per domain and then all the subpages will correct themselves.
Is this what you are looking for about rename tabs?

This is such good news! I hope you can find a reliable way to do it.
