There are two issues here: * The 'query commands' are not quiet. There is a plan to allow commands to be quiet when '@' (or '-') flags are prepended to the command names. Once that is functional, you can simply use '@title' command instead of 'title'. It's not complete yet, though, and it requires non-trivial work. (Also, it looks like '-' is not a good prefix to be used with remote commands. Perhaps I will change it to use '%' instead.) * When some notification message shows up (either because of '-Q title' or for other reasons, e.g. some window receives a bell), it stops refreshing that particular window, for a few seconds or until you hit some key (whichever comes first). This is expected. If you are showing some hardstatus line, then you can workaround this by using 'hardstatus on'.
