Change tab filename when switching between splits in the same tab

[ByteDrummer]

environment

• vim: nvim 0.4.4
• vim-airline: latest
• OS: Pop!_OS
• Have you reproduced with a minimal vimrc: N/A
• What is your airline configuration:

let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_buffers = 0
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_splits = 0
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_tabs = 1
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_tab_nr = 0
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_tab_type = 0
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_close_button = 0

if you are using terminal:

• terminal: GNOME Terminal
• $TERM variable: xterm-256color
• color configuration (:set t_Co?): gruvbox
  if you are using Neovim:
• does it happen in Vim: N/A

actual behavior

In a specific tab, when switching to a different split, the filename on the tab doesn't change to the filename of that split.

expected behavior

Although, I could use let g:airline#extensions#tabline#show_splits = 0 I'd like to keep the tabline minimal and instead have the filename on the tab change. This is similar to how lightline behaves if you've ever used it. Could there be a way to do this?

This one may be the same as #2294

Fixing this would make things match the default tab behavior in vim, which changes the name in the tab to match the active/focused window.

Is this a problem that is also reproduced in vim8?

[bartels]

Yes, I'm seeing this issue in both vim 8.1 and in neovim 0.5

Is this a bug? I opened this issue as more of a feature request.
