How to detach a terminal pane to a new window?

Question

Is it possible to detach one of the terminal panes (split windows, not tabs) in terminator and move it to a new window? I know there is a workaround (see the answers below) but I'm looking for a better (more user-friendly) solution.

Answer 1

There is a workaround:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + i to open a new window. You need to open it like this, the workaround doesn't work if you start a new terminator process.
2. Then you can move terminal panes from one window to another using drag & drop so you can move the pane you want to detach to the new window.
3. Now you have two panes in the new window - one started with the window and one you moved there. Just close the original pane and you have only the pane you originally wanted to detach to a new window.

But I'm hoping for a better way.

Answer 2

Create a new terminal tab, click on the 'tab' tab on the menu bar, select detach tab

Answer 3

In addition to the correct solution mentioned by @geckon, I found a workaround to get this workaround to work for tabs (as opposed to panes which is the main topic) by just creating an extra pane and apply @geckon solution.

Here are the steps:

• create a pane in the tab you want to move. Now you have two panes, one you want to move and the other is extra
• create a tab in the window you want to move to
• move the desired pane (not the tab) to the new window's tab, then exit the extra panes if you want.

I know, a bit of a "pane" in the neck! I hope they add it as a feature. Great product though!
