Originally created by @kostrse on GitHub (Mar 14, 2020).

Right now, after splitting my screen onto two panes, I cannot find a way to swap the panes between each other.

In tmux it's possible to move/swap opened panes in different ways.

Moving panes around in tmux:

C-a {          move the current pane to the previous position
C-a }          move the current pane to the next position
C-a C-o        rotate window ‘up’ (i.e. move all panes)
C-a M-o        rotate window ‘down’
C-a !          move the current pane into a new separate
               window (‘break pane’)
C-a :move-pane -t :3.2
               split window 3's pane 2 and move the current pane there

Related tmux commands:

  • swap-pane e.g. :swap-pane -s (first pane index) -t (second pane index)
  • move-pane

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Mar 16, 2020):

This is fairly similar to another request that's already being tracked in #1000

A switch panes option? Like a switchLeft, switchRight, switchUp, switchDown, to allow the user to rearrange the panes layout (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1000#issuecomment-578665067)

but this is unique enough that I'll leave it open to track independently. Thanks!

With #10638 merged, I'm gonna leave this open to track implementing the swapPane(from={id}, to={it}) action. I'm gonna pop the rotatePanes action into it's own separate issue for tracking purposes.

To note, there is now a Pane::SwapPanes function , so all that needs to be done for swap-pane(from{id}, to={id}) is adding the boilerplate for the command and actually calling SwapPanes.

I'm fairly certain that I did not implement this specifically, at least it isn't user accessible, see my comment above. While SwapPanes lets you do all kinds of things, the UI doesn't let you swap 2 arbitrary panes by their IDs.
