- **Module:** LibTmux
- **Package:** LibTmux
- **Language:** Perl
- **Kind:** method
- **Source:** https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-perl/blob/352715a4fa66a96eed7763b90daaa536aa2f121d/packages/core/lib/LibTmux/Server.pm#L1026

```
sub move_window($self, %args)
```

`move_window(link => WindowLink|session_id:index, session => Session|session_id, index => integer?)`.

Move one contextual [`LibTmux::WindowLink`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-windowlink/) into the destination session/index. Other links of the physical window keep their own associations. Use [`"link_window"`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-server-link_window/) to add an association without moving one.

Returns `undef` after command acceptance. Performs I/O; failures propagate through [`LibTmux::X`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-x/). Captured objects are not modified.


```perl
    $server->move_window(link => $link, session => $session, index => 4);
```
