How to swap two panes

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Steps

  1. 1

    Turn TabStack on.

  2. 2

    Drag a window and hold Option for Swap, or aim at the lower-center Swap zone without Option. That swaps the focused tab with the target pane’s selected tab.

  3. 3

    Drag the tab-bar background and hold Option for Swap Panes to swap the whole stacks.
