Move window between tmux clients
Another useful one:
link-window [-dk] [-s src-window] [-t dst-window]
(alias: linkw)
Link the window at src-window to the specified dst-window. If dst-window is specified
and no such window exists, the src-window is linked there. If -k is given and
dst-window exists, it is killed, otherwise an error is generated. If -d is given, the
newly linked window is not selected.
This means that you can share a window across multiple sessions:
Assuming I have these 2 sessions: daemons and proj
tmux link-window -dk -s daemons:0 -t proj:0
Yes, you can use the move-window command:
move-window [-d] [-s src-window] [-t dst-window]
(alias: movew)
This is similar to link-window, except the window at src-window is moved to dst-window.
where src-window and dst-window have the form: session:window.pane (session and window can be either name or id).
So, supposing you have an 'chat' session with an 'irc' window and want to move it to the 'other_session' session you can do (in the tmux prompt):
move-window -s chat:irc -t other_session
If you are already in the chat:irc window you don't need to specify the source so
move-window -t other_session:
will do it.
In the same way, from the 'other_session' session you don't need to specify the target.
movew -d irc:irc_window
If you haven't named you windows/sessions, you have to use their ids.
