Visual Studio Code - display project name first on Alt+Tab window

Question

Following little issue:

My ustal workflow consist of several VS Code windows opened

When switching between them via Alt+Tab, Windows 10/11 displays their instances name in format file_name - project_name. Names might get capped as well, so usually I'm ending in format like file_n.... It's kinda annoying to guess, what from list like:

• index...
• index.js - pr...
• index... is the one, that I'm searching for.

The question: Is there a way to change display format of VS Code windows in Alt+Tab view, preferably to show project name first?

Answer 1

The setting window.title contains the file location first.

Change it to:

"window.title": "${rootName}${separator}${dirty}${activeEditorShort}${separator}${appName}"
