This is a new capability of the `choose-tree` feature in tmux 2.8. From [tmux(1)](http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man1/tmux.1#choose-tree): > Key Function > Enter Choose selected item > Up Select previous item > Down Select next item > x Kill selected item So after you've navigated to the right window, press `x`, then when you are prompted: `Kill window 1?` ...press `y` to accept. This also works for killing individual panes, or even whole sessions.
