"New Tab with Settings - Basic" Mac Maybe a Dash? I am trying to edit the terminal new tab command "New Tab with Settings - Basic" in Terminal on my Mac.



It doesn't seem to change to anything.  Other commands edit fine.
I was able to verify your issue, initially I thought it might be there is a hidden character or an unusual type of hyphen, but it isn't I found the strings file and the original string for this menu is:

New Window with Profile - %@


Testing these options didn't work:


New Window with Profile - %@
New Window with Profile - Pro My theme is called Pro not Basic
New Window with Profile


None of these work, but as you said any other item in that menu works so this appears to be an artefact of the fact macOS generates that menu item by concatenating two strings.

There is a relatively old guide on almost exactly this issue which you could try to follow, but this appears to be a bug and should be reported to Apple: https://radar.apple.com
