Move panes between tabs, sync input
Sometimes a pane belongs in a different tab. Breaking a pane pops it out of its current tab into a tab of its own, or into the neighbouring tab. And when you want to type the same command into several panes at once, sync turns the current tab into a broadcast: your input goes to every pane in it.
