# Traversal
libtmux provides convenient access to move around the hierarchy of sessions,
windows and panes in tmux.
This is done by libtmux's object abstraction of {term}`target`s (the `-t`
argument) and the permanent internal ID's tmux gives to objects.
Open two terminals:
Terminal one: start tmux in a separate terminal:
```console
$ tmux
```
Terminal two, `python` or `ptpython` if you have it:
```console
$ python
```
## Setup
First, create a test session:
```python
>>> session = server.new_session() # Create a test session using existing server
```
## Server Level
View the server's representation:
```python
>>> server # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Server(socket_name=...)
```
Get all sessions in the server:
```python
>>> server.sessions # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Session($... ...)]
```
Get all windows across all sessions:
```python
>>> server.windows # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Window(@... ..., Session($... ...))]
```
Get all panes across all windows:
```python
>>> server.panes # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Pane(%... Window(@... ..., Session($... ...)))]
```
## Session Level
Get first session:
```python
>>> session = server.sessions[0]
>>> session # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Session($... ...)
```
Get windows in a session:
```python
>>> session.windows # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Window(@... ..., Session($... ...))]
```
Get active window and pane:
```python
>>> session.active_window # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Window(@... ..., Session($... ...))
>>> session.active_pane # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Pane(%... Window(@... ..., Session($... ...)))
```
## Window Level
Get a window and inspect its properties:
```python
>>> window = session.windows[0]
>>> window.window_index # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
'...'
```
Access the window's parent session:
```python
>>> window.session # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Session($... ...)
>>> window.session.session_id == session.session_id
True
```
Get panes in a window:
```python
>>> window.panes # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Pane(%... Window(@... ..., Session($... ...)))]
```
Get active pane:
```python
>>> window.active_pane # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Pane(%... Window(@... ..., Session($... ...)))
```
## Pane Level
Get a pane and traverse upwards:
```python
>>> pane = window.panes[0]
>>> pane.window.window_id == window.window_id
True
>>> pane.session.session_id == session.session_id
True
>>> pane.server is server
True
```
## Filtering and Finding Objects
Find windows by index:
```python
>>> session.windows.filter(window_index=window.window_index) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[Window(@... ..., Session($... ...))]
```
Get a specific pane by ID:
```python
>>> window.panes.get(pane_id=pane.pane_id) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Pane(%... Window(@... ..., Session($... ...)))
```
## Checking Relationships
Check if objects are related:
```python
>>> window in session.windows
True
>>> pane in window.panes
True
>>> session in server.sessions
True
```
Check if a window is active:
```python
>>> window.window_id == session.active_window.window_id
True
```
Check if a pane is active:
```python
>>> pane.pane_id == window.active_pane.pane_id
True
```
