I have nine panes inside a tmux window, most of them with Python scripts running. In one, something went wrong (sporadic, not frequently repeatable) with the script and several error messages were produced. I would like to have the error messages in a format I can copy and paste to a forum for help but I cannot do that with them squashed up in a tmux pane. Is there some way I can detach a specific pane and reattach it in a full-size terminal window on its own? Thanks.

Use C-b z to zoom/unzoom the pane, or C-b : break-pane to move it to its own window.

You could also move it to a new window, with "break-pane" (bound to "C-b !")

You could also move it to a new window, with "break-pane" (bound to "C-b !")
