I am using iTerm2. From Profile => General => Basics => Title: Session Name and PWD is selected.

Afterwards I ssh into a remote machine. Title bar of the splitted panes does not show the full path of the directory of the remove machine.

enter image description here

Instead it only shows the end portion of it with ... at the beginning. Would it be possible to see the full path or expand its length?

When the path is long enough, it is ellipsized in the title.

Turn-off the prefix truncation in Preferences -> Advanced section -> Use 'smart truncation' for tab titles. But if the pwd is long, suffix is still truncated. So

  1. Increase Tab title size.

Goto Preferences -> Advanced -> Tabs -> Change size in Minimum tab width when using uneven tabs or Preferred tab width when tabs are equally sized.

  1. Use Badges, alternate option

Goto Preferences -> Select profile -> General -> Basics-> Enter \(tab.currentSession.path) in the Badge text box. Current pwd will appear like this.

While this answer is written, couldn't find an option to set tab title width apt to the title length. May be available in future.
