How to terminate a window in tmux?

Question

How to terminate a window in tmux? Like the Ctrlak shortcut in screen with Ctrla being the prefix.

Answer 1

While you asked how to kill a window resp. pane, I often wouldn't want to kill it but simply to get it back to a working state (the layout of panes is of importance to me, killing a pane destroys it so I must recreate it); tmux provides the respawn commands to that effect: respawn-pane resp. respawn-window. Just that people like me may find this solution here.
