```
window.Window.rotate(direction: : "forward" | "backward" = "forward") -> Promise<void>
```

Rotate the panes within this window.

The layout stays put and the panes move through it, so this reorders what
occupies each position rather than trading two panes.

## Example

```ts
await window.rotate("forward");
```
