Include the name of the currently focused view in the window title

See original GitHub issue

Hi, would it be possible to add a setting to modify the title of the VSCode window to include the currently focused panel (editor, terminal, explorer etc)?

I use dictation software for all coding and the easiest way to activate and deactivate sets of commands is by matching on the window title, so for example .py in the window title activates Python commands. It would be useful to be able to activate a certain set of commands for editing code and a different set of commands when using the integrated terminal.

isidorn in the accessibility Gitter channel suggested this be implemented by allowing something like ${focusedView} in the window.title setting, and I think this would work well.

Thanks

@daniel-j-davis we might be missing a method to get the active part. @sbatten and @sandy081 would know more, I think it is missing.

Thanks for filling this. I think it is a fair feature request. @bpasero let me know what you think, and maybe we open this to PRs?
