When I press Ctrl+b, W, tmux shows the list of all current windows and their panes. How can I kill a window and its panes from within this list view?

This is a new capability of the choose-tree feature in tmux 2.8. From tmux(1):
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 <tmux prefix> + x, then when you are prompted:
Kill window 1?
...press y to accept. This also works for killing individual panes, or even whole sessions.

1@kendfss There's no way to bypass the prompt, according to the current source. But you could invoke
choose-treewith akillcommand in the template, ie.:choose-tree "kill-window -t %1", so it will immediately kill the one you choose (with Enter).JigglyNaga– JigglyNaga2023-03-02 17:22:43 +00:00Commented Mar 2, 2023 at 17:22
For anyone landing on this now. You can prefix + w to show the window list, then press x to close a window.
Tested on tmux 3.5a
