Allow customize the window title separator

[muuvmuuv]

The separator in window.title is a em dash but I would like to use my own "◆". Can I make a PR to add this?

[bpasero]

Why is this needed, can't you just define the full window title including your separator?

[muuvmuuv]

Yes but it will not make use of the "if clause" the separator variable provides. So it is only active if both variables, left and right, are present.

When I do that:

${remoteName} ◆ ${rootName} ◆ ${activeEditorMedium} ${dirty}

It results in:

◆ project ◆ package.json

Sorry I thought that would be clear. My bad.

Makes sense. So this could be a setting where the value of the title separator can be defined as string?

[muuvmuuv]

Yes, that is what I was looking for. I can make a PR if I get some time today.

I guess this is just finding where window.title is defined and add window.titleSeparator as string and place it at the line where the separator is defined?

[bpasero]

Yeah if you sketch something up we can talk about it in the PR.

Verify using the new window.titleSeparator setting.
