Create a pane from a window:

>>> window.cmd('split-window', '-P', '-F#{pane_id}').stdout[0]
'%...'

Magic, directly to a Pane :

>>> Pane.from_pane_id(pane_id=session.cmd(
... 'split-window', '-P', '-F#{pane_id}').stdout[0], server=session.server)
Pane(%... Window(@... ...:..., Session($1 libtmux_...)))

await window.cmd("rotate-window");

let guard = libtmux::test::TestServer::new().await?;
let session = guard.server().new_session("raw").await?;
let window = session.active_window().await?.expect("a window");

let result = window
    .cmd(libtmux::Command::new("display-message").arg("-p").arg("#{window_id}"))
    .await?;
assert_eq!(result.stdout_lossy().trim(), window.id().to_string());

guard.shutdown().await?;
