DetachDomain(domain)

Since: Version 20220624-141144-bd1b7c5d

The functionality described in this section requires version 20220624-141144-bd1b7c5d of wezterm, or a more recent version.

Attempts to detach the specified domain. Detaching a domain causes it to disconnect and remove its set of windows, tabs and panes from the local GUI. Detaching does not cause those panes to close; if or when you later attach to the domain, they'll still be there.

Not every domain supports detaching, and will log an error to the error log/debug overlay.

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local act = wezterm.action

config.ssh_domains = {
  {
    name = 'devhost',
    remote_address = 'devhost.example.com',
  },
}
config.keys = {
  { key = 'U', mods = 'CTRL|SHIFT', action = act.AttachDomain 'devhost' },
  -- Detaches the domain associated with the current pane
  {
    key = 'D',
    mods = 'CTRL|SHIFT',
    action = act.DetachDomain 'CurrentPaneDomain',
  },
  -- Detaches the "devhost" domain
  {
    key = 'E',
    mods = 'CTRL|SHIFT',
    action = act.DetachDomain { DomainName = 'devhost' },
  },
}
