Place the window before or after the session's current window.

Relative to whichever window the session has selected, not to a window
named here — the command addresses the session, so that is the anchor tmux
measures from. Without this or [`index`](/en/ts/latest/reference/types-newwindowoptions-index/), tmux uses the first free index.
Cannot be combined with [`index`](/en/ts/latest/reference/types-newwindowoptions-index/).
