Problem Statement

When working with multiple tabs in VS Code, the Claude Code panel always displays as "Claude" and there's no option to rename it. Right-clicking the tab only shows close, pin, split, and move options — no rename. This makes it harder to organize my workspace, especially when I have multiple panels open.

Proposed Solution

Add the ability to rename the Claude Code tab, either through:

  • A right-click context menu option ("Rename")
  • Or support for VS Code's built-in tab renaming behavior

Alternative Solutions

Standard VS Code terminal tabs support renaming via right-click, but since Claude Code opens as a webview panel, this isn't available. It would be a nice quality-of-life improvement for workspace organization.
