enum window.Rotation

Where a split puts the new pane, relative to the one being divided.

tmux spells these -v, -v -b, -h, and -h -b, where "horizontal" means side by side. Naming the resulting position instead removes a question every tmux user has asked at least once.

Examples

use libtmux::{Rotation, SplitDirection};

let guard = libtmux::test::TestServer::new().await?;
let session = guard.server().new_session("work").await?;
let window = session.active_window().await?.expect("a session has a window");
window.split(SplitDirection::Below).await?;

// Rotating moves panes between positions; it does not create or destroy any.
let before = window.panes().await?.len();
window.rotate(Rotation::Down).await?;
assert_eq!(window.panes().await?.len(), before);

guard.shutdown().await?;

Members

• Down constant Move each pane to the position after it, which is tmux's default.
• Up constant Move each pane to the position before it, so the first becomes last.
