Setting vterm-buffer-name-string containing %s breaks deduplication in multi-vterm-project

Since multi-vterm-project looks for the buffer by name, setting vterm-buffer-name-string to "%s" will break its ability to toggle the buffer. Instead it creates a new buffer each time.

How did you set it? I tried to use vterm %s however %s wasn't replaced.

Simple way to deal with it is to unset vterm-buffer-name-string in dedicated buffer

(add-hook 'vterm-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (string= (buffer-name) (multi-vterm-dedicated-get-buffer-name))
              (setq-local vterm-buffer-name-string nil)))))
