Pane object


Since: Version 20221119-145034-49b9839f

The functionality described in this section requires version 20221119-145034-49b9839f of wezterm, or a more recent version.

In previous releases there were separate MuxPane and Pane objects created by the mux and gui layers, respectively. This is no longer the case: there is now just the underlying mux pane which is referred to in these docs as Pane for the sake of simplicity.


A Pane object is typically passed to your code via an event callback. A Pane object is a handle to a live instance of a Pane that is known to the wezterm process. A Pane object tracks the pseudo terminal (or real serial terminal) and associated process(es) and the parsed screen and scrollback.

A Pane object can be used to send input to the associated processes and introspect the state of the terminal emulation for that pane.
