Hey there! Let's break down your questions about Chrome window and tab naming—here's what you need to know:

1. Setting Chrome Window Name on Launch via CLI/Automation #

Chrome doesn’t have a native CLI flag to directly set the window title when launching, but you can work around this with scripting and window management tools tailored to your operating system:

• Windows: Use PowerShell with the PSWindowTools module to target the Chrome window after launch and rename it. Here’s a quick example:

  # Launch Chrome first
  Start-Process "chrome.exe"
  # Give the window a second to load
  Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
  # Grab the first Chrome window and rename it
  $chromeWin = Get-Process chrome | Select-Object -First 1 | Get-Window
  Set-WindowTitle -Window $chromeWin -Title "My Work Chrome Session"
  

  Note: You’ll need to install the PSWindowTools module first via Install-Module -Name PSWindowTools.

• macOS: Combine the open command with AppleScript to rename the window right after launch. Run this in Terminal:

  open -a "Google Chrome" && osascript -e 'tell application "Google Chrome" to set the title of front window to "Personal Browsing"'
  

• Linux: Use xdotool to target the Chrome window by its class and set a custom title:

  google-chrome &
  sleep 2
  xdotool search --class "google-chrome" set_window --name "Dev Environment Chrome"
  

2. Keyboard Shortcut to Rename a Chrome Tab #

Chrome doesn’t include a native shortcut for renaming tabs, but you’ve got two reliable options:

• Use a Chrome Extension: Install an extension like Tab Renamer (or similar tools from the Chrome Web Store). Once installed:

  • Go to Chrome Settings > Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts (at the bottom of the page)
  • Find the extension’s "Rename Tab" option and assign a custom shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+R on macOS)

• Create a Tampermonkey User Script: If you’d rather avoid extensions, write a simple user script to bind a shortcut. Here’s a basic example that uses Ctrl+Shift+T to trigger a rename prompt:

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name         Chrome Tab Rename Shortcut
  // @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
  // @version      0.1
  // @description  Add a keyboard shortcut to rename Chrome tabs
  // @author       You
  // @match        *://*/*
  // @grant        none
  // ==/UserScript==
  
  (function() {
      'use strict';
  
      document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
          // Customize the shortcut here (Ctrl+Shift+T in this case)
          if (e.ctrlKey && e.shiftKey && e.key === 'T') {
              e.preventDefault();
              const newTabTitle = prompt('Enter the new tab title:');
              if (newTabTitle) {
                  document.title = newTabTitle;
              }
          }
      });
  })();
  

  Install Tampermonkey, create a new script, paste this code, and save. Keep in mind some websites might overwrite the title automatically, so this works best for static pages or sites that don’t reset the title.
