```
libtmux.Window.move_window(
    self,
    destination: str = "",
    session: str | None = None,
    after: bool | None = None,
    before: bool | None = None,
    no_select: bool | None = None,
    kill_target: bool | None = None,
    renumber: bool | None = None,
) -> Window
```

Move current :class:`Window` object [`$ tmux move-window`](/en/tmux/latest/manual/move-window/).

## Parameters

- `destination` (`str`): The ``target window`` or index to move the window to, default:
empty string.
- `session` (`str | None`): The ``target session`` or index to move the window to, default:
current session.
- `after` (`bool | None`): Insert after the target window (``-a`` flag). (added 0.56)
- `before` (`bool | None`): Insert before the target window (``-b`` flag). (added 0.56)
- `no_select` (`bool | None`): Do not make the moved window the current window (``-d`` flag). (added 0.56)
- `kill_target` (`bool | None`): Kill the target window if it exists (``-k`` flag). (added 0.56)
- `renumber` (`bool | None`): Renumber all windows in sequential order (``-r`` flag). This is a
standalone operation — when used, no move is performed and other
parameters are ignored. (added 0.56)

## Returns

:class:`Window`
    Self, for method chaining.

## Raises

- [`libtmux.exc.LibTmuxException`](/en/py/stable/reference/libtmux-exc-libtmuxexception/): If tmux returns an error.
