How can I reattach a detached tab?

[Daniel Serodio]

I dragged a tab to outside of the iTerm2 window, and it detached and
turned into a separate window. How can I re-attach this new window to
the original one?

Regards,
Daniel Serodio

You can drag it back into a tabbar. If your window has only one tab, it might be hidden, in which case you need to either show tab bars when there's only one tab (an option under prefs->appearance) or temporarily create a second tab so you have a drag target.

I'm not able to get this to work running iTerm 2.1.1. I've even tried dragging and dropping it on the tab bar using different key combinations (apple key, fn, ctrl, option and shift).

Anyone know how to get this to work? For some reason I keep accidentally detaching tabs into their own windows when selecting text (i.e. click too close to the window border and drag).

It should just work. There is a bug in 2.1.1 with dragging in the tabbar of a fullscreen window, so maybe that's what you're hitting? A video of what you're doing might be helpful.

Howdy, here's a video demonstrating the issue:

Turn off "Prefs>Appearance>Hide tab bar when there is only one tab". Then you'll have a tab which you can drag.

Doh, thanks, drag the tab, not the window.

I also noticed that in recent versions of Chrome you can't grab the title bar to re-attach a tab.

You have to specifically grab the tab-shaped object in the window.
