How can I remove the file name from the top bar of the VS Code window?

Is there a way to remove the file name in the top bar? It is right next to the menu bar and I suspect that the file name is the reason why part of the menu bar is hidden (the three dots are there).

If you go to File -> Preferences -> Settings and search for "window title", in addition to letting you edit the format string for the window title (which becomes window.title), it gives you a list of the format string placeholders you can use in it.

Put the following in your settings.json:

"window.title": " "

If you set it as an empty string instead of a space, it will instead display "Visual Studio Code".

Alternatively, you could be fancier and use the unicode "Zero Width Space" character (U+200B)

"window.title": "​"

You can't really tell there's a character in the string above because- well- it's a space with zero width :P
