Application Title Auto Update

Allow Blender to automatically update the title bar depending on what your doing. For example if your in the edit window the title bar could say "Blender - Edit Mode".

I believe this optional feature would allow accessibility and ease of use with products such as the Elgato Stream Deck and help to eliminate a large learning curve associated with Learning Hundreds of keyboard shortcuts.

You don't have to learn hundreds of keyboard shortcuts. This isn't 2.79 anymore.

Agree. I also don't see the link between the application title and learning curve 🤔

There's still lots that can be accomplished by adding functionality for extra input devices. For example I would love to automatically change my mouse profile. depending what screen is active. instead of remapping blenders shortcut keys. I just feel it could be useful to some people. LoLock; Stream Deck and other similar devices use the application title to set profiles. so if I made a edit mode set of buttons it could automatically switch from the sculpt mode buttons or object mode buttons when you change modes.

You need to explain all of that in your proposal.

I support embracing and exposing the fact that each editor in Blender is kind of it's own mini program with its own keyboard shortcuts.

At the very least I support making minor additions to the addon api that would let addons change the application title to support things like this.

As a side note, It would be a really fun community offshoot designing the logos.
