Ability to drag re-order tabs, panes

[alexherbo2]

It could be nice to have similar features to Konsole for managing the terminal windows (tabs, panes) with the mouse.

• Konsole and splits

The only other place where I have seen a good mouse support for tiles like that was in Sway, which extends to all the desktop.

Would be awesome to drag tabs (and maybe panes?) between windows as part of this - similar to how browsers behave.

Same, except not-necessarily by mouse, for example emulating tmux' rotate-window and swap-pane commands

In the nightly there are a few new key assignments:

• RotatePanes
• PaneSelect

And from the CLI:

• https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/cli/cli/move-pane-to-new-tab.html
• https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/cli/cli/split-pane.html - wezterm cli split-pane --move-pane-id ID can move a pane into a newly created split

There's no mouse equivalent functionality as of yet.

I too would love to see the ability to drag tabs to rearrange them in wezterm.

Would it be possible to to add default bindings for the reorder tab left/right options? Something with [/] would be great to keep it similar to the change tabs action. Maybe alt+[?

[wez]

@tgross35 there are already default assignments. You are welcome to add whatever assignments you like via your config file.

$ wezterm -n show-keys | grep MoveTab
        SHIFT | CTRL         PageUp             ->   MoveTabRelative(-1)
        SHIFT | CTRL         PageDown           ->   MoveTabRelative(1)

I use kitty right now but this would be the reason I'd switch to wez. I used iterm2 before and dragging was natural. Tbh I still have to lookup the kitty shortcut to reorder panes each and every time I want to.

+1, the way terminator handles it is perfect.
