Format String Editor

The format string editor allows you to edit the various format strings that make up the application. Format strings give you the ability to customize how certain strings are built and displayed in various parts of the user interface.

Think of a format string as the body of a Javascript function that looks like this:

function format(ctx) {
  str = 'some value'      // <-- this is your format string
  return str
}

The function receives a ctx object as an argument. The properties of the ctx object varies based on the string being formatted. Your format string must assign a string to the special variable str.

If you want to put the tab’s priority in the title of a tab you can define the Tab title format string as:
str = `(${ ctx.tab.priority }) ${ ctx.tab.title }`
