Guidance: Customizing tabs' label/title text, and/or format?

[peter-lyons-kehl]

Dear Matej or his friend,

This is not an issue/feature request, but a request for guidance, please. I'd like to customize VS Code's editor (tab's) label/title text, and/or its format (whatever is the easiest). Would your Customize UI with Monkey Patch, or just Monkey Patch on its own, be a good direction?

(I have created several Firefox extensions in Javascript. But I've never extended/customized VS Code. I'm reading https://code.visualstudio.com/api.)

Can I use/extend Customize UI for this? If so, is run(titleBar) the place?

And/or, I see private computeTabLabels(): void - should I intercept/extend it, and if so, how?

(Insiders' API, or even main GIT-based VS Code, is fine. The detailed motivation for implementing this: microsoft/vscode-discussions#60. I do see that https://github.com/skoshy/nice-index-vscode has accomplished this, using Monkey Patch. But that was 2 years ago and VS Code API changed since then. I wonder if that's still the smoothest & most maintainable path.)

Thank you in advance for any tips.
