zsh set title to current directory or current command, using named directories





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a named directory configured in my .zshrc:



hash -d foo=/foo/bar/baz/some/long/path


If I set my zsh window title format like this: (I'm using zprezto):



zstyle ':prezto:module:terminal:window-title' format '%N'


Then my title either shows the currently executing command, say node, or the current directory. However it does not seem to understand the named directory, and lists the full directory path, like /foo/bar/baz/some/long/path. I can specify a number and show only some segments of this path, but I would like to see my named path, e.g. ~foo



If I set my title format like this:



zstyle ':prezto:module:terminal:window-title' format '%~'


It correctly shows the path, but no longer shows the current executing command. Is there a way to combine these two to show ~foo when no command is running, or node if that is the running command
