Description

W allows us to move a tab to a new window. Is there a key combination where I can do the reverse? That is, can I join a tab to another open window?

There's a Chrome extension called Tab Glue that does it, however, I was hoping this might be possible with vimium.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing W command and Vimium's tab/window commands. Determine how a tab can be moved into an already open window and how a key combination should invoke it. Done means a tab can be joined to another open window reliably, with the behavior covered by the project's relevant checks.
