PaneSelect
Since: 20220624-141144-bd1b7c5d
This action activates the pane selection modal display. In this mode, each pane will be overlayed with a one- or two-character label taken from the selection alphabet.

Typing the label will select the pane, take an action and exit selection mode.
Pressing Escape
or CTRL-g
will exit pane selection mode without taking any
action.
The available actions are:
mode="Activate"
- activate the selected pane. This is the default mode.mode="SwapWithActive"
- swap the position of the active pane with the selected pane
The selection alphabet defaults to the same value as quick_select_alphabet, but can be explicitly via the alphabet
field:
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local act = wezterm.action
return {
-- 36 is the default, but you can choose a different size
-- pane_select_font_size=36,
keys = {
-- activate pane selection mode with the default alphabet (labels are "a", "s", "d", "f" and so on)
{key="8", mods="CTRL", action=act.PaneSelect},
-- activate pane selection mode with numeric labels
{key="9", mods="CTRL", action=act.PaneSelect{alphabet="1234567890"}},
-- show the pane selection mode, but have it swap the active and selected panes
{key="0", mods="CTRL", action=act.PaneSelect{mode="SwapWithActive"}},
}
}
