accessing a specific pane inside a window

[@lbutlr]

Forgive me if my terminology is a bit off, I am relatively new to tmux in terms of any advance use (I've used it for years as a simple replacement for screen, but am now trying to do some more with it)

Right now I have a setup where I have a window that contains three panes, one on the left that is full height, and two on the right, one above the other.

This is great on my desktop with a large screen, but absolute murder on my laptop.

What I would like to do from the laptop is connect to just the pane on the left side, but I cannot figure out how to do this. The best I can do is connect to the window, and then manually zoom the pane.

If it matters, I am using tmux in iTerm2 under macOS, though I have not yet really figured out iTerm2's tmux integration features (the mailing list for items is defunct). Also, if it matters, I am also still struggling a bit with the concept of the tmux session and exactly when and why I have different sessions. I don't need help with this right now unless it relates Tony question above which I rather suspect it does.

Hi

You can break the pane into its own window with break-pane and rejoin it with join-pane, or swap it with another pane that is already in its own window with swap-pane (this may be batter because it preserves the layout). But these move the pane - at the moment you can't have a pane in two windows at the same time.

This https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Getting-Started#swapping-and-moving describes using the marked pane for swapping.
