yes, i mean some thing beyond normal broadcast input definition.
When broadcast mode is enabled, all input sent to the pane will be sent to all panes in the same tab. This is useful for sending the same input to multiple panes at once.
but i my request is adding a feature that enable me to grouping the panes, adding tag or name to group and input send to selected group or groups. panes can be on same tab or spread on multiple tab.

When broadcast mode is enabled, all input sent to the pane will be sent _to all panes in the same tab_.
