Tmux: renumber/reorder windows by dragging using mouse

[dmd]

It would be nice if, in mouse mode, one could drag window titles to reorder/renumber them (like tabs in a browser).

It would be nice to leave a comment like 'won't do this' or something instead of just closing with no explanation at all.

This can be achieved by adding the following lines to the tmux configuration file (~/.tmux.config)

# Drag windows on the status bar

bind-key -n MouseDrag1Status swap-window -t=

For those who find this issue in a Google search, you need to add a -d flag to swap-window now (as of version 3.0 I believe). This prevents the window you are swapping from being selected. If you don't do this, you will get tons of stuttering behavior when dragging windows.

bind-key -n MouseDrag1Status swap-window -d -t=

(Thanks to @nicm for pointing this out)
