commit 535e22b35bf997169a322db0f9632a729a02d3d3 parent 7429e2d6623e9ec3333c71ad8073530acf63fa43 Author: Chris Bracken <chris@bracken.jp> Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 19:57:14 -0700 tmux: add custom swap panes implementation The default tmux swap-pane -U/-D command will only swap with next/previous pane, not with pane above/below. Instead, we use shifted vi navigation keys to swap with pane to left/down/up/right as determined by which pane would be selected via select-pane -L/-D/-U/-R. Diffstat:
