    Hi, I just wanted to make a suggestion to add the functionality to rename locked inspector tabs.

    I just learned about the functionality to lock tabs and it's great because I used to find it annoying to constantly switch between inspectors trying to find the asset in the "Project" tab or an object in the "Hierarchy".

    I think it would be much better if we can right-click and rename the locked inspector tabs as well.

    Hey Jonathan so we're tackling this exact problem a different way. In 20.2 (check out the alpha to see it and feedback if you like) you can open a 'focused inspector' by doing right click > Properties on any game object, component, or asset this gives you effectively a by default locked inspector where the tab is named after the thing you opened. Here's a gif!

    Hi, just adding a bit to the suggestion...
    I think it still would be nice if we could rename any kind of tab, for example, opening a "Project" tab, them choosing a folder, locking that tab and being able to rename the tab so i can quickly access that folder when i need to.

    +1 for being able to rename project tabs. I like to lock them with the most used folders. It would be great to see the folder names on the tab headers!

    I can't believe that renaming Project tabs isn't the thing yet. I desperately need this! Unity please?

    I would like to see this feature as well!

    Sometimes I have like 5-10 Projects tabs opened (Scripts, Prefabs, Textures, Sounds) and because of lack of renaming possibility I started to group and seperating them using other tabs (e.g. Console, Inspector), which is better than nothing, but rename function would be a blessing!
