Check out your .vimrc. If 'set notitle' is an entry, comment it out with a quotation mark ("). Now your xterm should inherit the title from Vim. e.g. 'Vim - ~/.vimrc'. This can be quite nice when programming and editing lots of files at the same time.

| Merely commenting out "set notitle" will not do it. Vim has the xterm title off by default. You need to put "set title" in your .vimrc. Alternately, you could just type ":set title" from within vim.

Hi,
When I use "screen" utility, "set title" doesn't work, which means vim doesn't change the title bar at all. Does anyone know how to make the title bar changed using "screen"?

| :set title works great, but i'm having trouble changing the title options -- shouldn't :set titlestring="vim (path)/filename" work?
