Thanks for giving it a try! I recently moved house and have limited mental bandwidth while I'm setting up the new place--since I don't want to drop the ball on resolving these, I'd appreciate it if you would file separate GitHub issues for those items you'd like to follow up on so that I can find and work through them as time allows!

1. Tab titles are set using escape sequences, typically OSC 0, 1 or 2. You can find examples for configuring shells to emit those online, for example: https://superuser.com/questions/84710/window-title-in-bash Terminal.app defaults to snooping the local process list to set titles; wezterm doesn't do this as the terminal may not be local (eg: could be remote ssh or multiplexer session) and using escape sequences gives definitive control.

2. I'd love to troubleshoot this with you; please file an issue!

3. There are currently a set of open and related IME/macOS issues at the moment. You may want to try looking at https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/keys.html#macos-left-a... and fiddle with those options, but you may be left disappointed until the root of those issues are resolved!

4. This is a consequence of being a cross platform program rather than a macOS-first application. There isn't a way to keep the GUI running without any Windows today. Perhaps in the future?
