Context:
I'd like to be able to rename a session title, so I can keep a better track of multiple sessions

Issue:
Right now, the title seems to be determined by the first prompt. In my day-to-day this is often an initial prompt to load more context of certain parts of the code, so most session titles will be useless , since they don't capture the task at hand at all.

Suggestion
Have short cut in the session list (like CTRL+x r) and/or register a /rename-session command that let's me modify the session title.

I think it's now supported to rename the session, but one issue is that it's not allow to paste the text from clipboard into the rename dialog. or if possible to have auto rename AI suggested session name

For anyone dense like me coming here trying to rename your sessions, in order to get to the menu that the above comment above references, you need to open the /sessions command, navigate to the session you want to rename, and then press r.

It'd be nice if there was a "rename current session" command though.

I have the same issue. I get the prompt to rename both inside the session and outside, but nothing at all happens when I hit enter.
I'm on an M1 Mac if that matters.
