Change the "Window" menu title? #53
sindresorhus posted onGitHub
When there are multiple tabs, the window menu would look like:

Where General
is the preferences window title. However, I feel it's not clear enough to the user that General
mean the preferences window. Also, what if the main window has a name that is the same or close to the preferences tab name. That would be confusing.
When there's no tabs, the HIG says that the window title should be the app name and then Preferences
, but that can look weird:

The macOS Human Interface Guidelines doesn't say anything about this.
My preference would be to use Preferences — General
for the title in the Window menu when there are multiple tabs, and Preferences
when there's none.
Xcode uses this convention: <img width="362" alt="Screenshot 2020-06-08 at 22 22 42" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/170270/84041586-98361c80-a9d6-11ea-9043-456288d529e5.png">
Changing the title of only the "Window" menu items is possible with:
NSApp.changeWindowsItem(window, title: "Preferences — General", filename: false)
Thoughts?
