Rename My Window
Name your VS Code windows with one click
The Problem
You're juggling 5 VS Code windows, Alt+Tabbing desperately through identical-looking instances trying to find the right project. The built-in solution? Manually editing .vscode/settings.json with cryptic template strings every time you want a custom window title.
The Solution
That's tedious, forgettable, and breaks your flow when you just want to tell your windows apart..
What It Does
Status Bar Quick Rename
Click the tag icon in your bottom-left status bar, type a name, and your window is instantly labeled without touching any config files.
Ctrl+Shift+T Shortcut
Hit the keyboard shortcut from anywhere in your editor to rename the current window in under 3 seconds.
Emoji Visual Markers
Pick from 15 emojis to prefix your window name (🔥 Client Portal, 🧪 Staging) for instant visual recognition in your taskbar.
Persistent Across Sessions
Your custom window names survive restarts and workspace reloads, so you never have to rename the same project twice.
Zero Configuration Required
No JSON files, no settings panels, no template syntax to memorize - everything happens through simple text input prompts.
