Before doing that, ensure that double-click tab rename is enabled in the settings. Open *Settings* and go to the *Tabs* section. Here, check whether the double-click action is set to "*Rename tab*". ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2025/06/tab-rename-in-settings.png) ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2025/06/rename-tab-in-action.gif) This is useful when the tab names are taking up too much space, this way, you can give a nickname to easily identify the tab. ## 🤣 Meme of the Week It's still going strong thanks to Linux! 💪 ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2025/06/meme10.png) ## 🗓️ Tech Trivia On June 14, 1822, [Charles Babbage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FBabbage?ref=itsfoss.com) presented a paper to the [Royal Astronomical Society](https://www.ras.ac.uk/?ref=itsfoss.com) proposing a design for a machine he called the [Difference Engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference%5Fengine?ref=itsfoss.com), the first significant example of a mechanical computing device. ## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 FOSSverse Corner There is [a long-running discussion](https://itsfoss.community/t/why-do-people-have-such-an-unreasonable-bias-against-ubuntu/13190?ref=itsfoss.com) surrounding the bias against Ubuntu.
