Searching for a way how to get rid of a bit of annoying duplication.

I expect a tmux pane title simply is going to be like –`0 kakoune------` after execution of a shell command. My assumption is kakoune does this trick.

The `ui_options` option (described in `:doc options`) controls how the Kakoune interface behaves. In particular, the `terminal_set_title` option controls whether Kakoune updates the terminal title when the status bar updates. If you set it to `no` Kakoune won’t _restore_ the title (terminal apps can’t restore the terminal title after setting it), but if you set it in your `kakrc` then Kakoune won’t set the title at all and won’t need to restore it:

```auto
set-option global ui_options terminal_set_title=no

```
