hi,

Thank you, it does not effect the terminal title.

As Adrian answered me, it is not supported :/

I was wrong:

To get this to work in Konsole I had to edit the profile to have Tab title format use %w (Window title set by shell).

    Most terminal programs recognize escape sequences to set the window
    title.  So you could set values for PROMPTn that cause updates in
    the title.  There's an example in

    <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-PROMPTING>

    although it's just talking about a color change.
