Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 2, 2026 by dimension-zero Closed Mar 6, 2026
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
- Claude Code on Windows is crashing frequently due to contentious writes to ~/.claude/settings.json.
- Windows Terminal tabs for multiple Claude Codes sessions are titled "Claude Code"
- When restarted, Windows Terminal does not start over with same tabs - they have to be reopened manually

Proposed Solution
- Displaying names of repos / directories in tab-titles instead of "Claude Code"
- User could then quickly note down which tabs open before restarting Windows Terminal
Alternative Solutions
Not needed for macOS terminal which both displays directory-names AND restarts with former tabs open at correct cwd/pwd.
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
