Move a pane

Press Ctrl-f m to choose a destination for the focused pane. Select New Tab or an existing tab and press Enter. Esc or Ctrl-c cancels; selecting the current tab does nothing.

The pane moves with its running program, working directory, and scrollback. It is not replaced by a fresh shell.

If a test runner is taking space beside your editor, focus it, press Ctrl-f m, and choose New Tab. The test runner continues there while your editor remains in the original tab.

Ctrl-f ! is the direct shortcut for moving the focused pane to a new tab without opening the menu. To gather every pane into another tab, use gather panes.

Destinations are limited to the current session. Moving a live pane into another session is not supported. The destination picker needs the modern configuration.
