Join-pane allows you to join panes that you have broken away from your window,
or created in a different window to the window you want it in.  As far as I
know there is not a default keybinding for it.

Before you can join a pane you must first have a pane marked to join.  Once you
mark a pane, go back to the window you want to join it to and join-pane.

My keybindings, you must add this to your `~/.tmux.conf` file to use them.

``` python
# Mark and swap panes
#――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
bind -n M-m select-pane -m # mark
bind -n M-M select-pane -M # unmark

bind -n M-< join-pane
```
