-            make new window the current window after creating it, default
-            True.
+        target : int or str, optional
+            Custom *target-pane*. Defaults to this pane's ID.
         start_directory : str, optional
-            specifies the working directory in which the new window is created.
+            Working directory for the new pane.
+        attach : bool, optional
+            If True, select the new pane immediately (default is False).
         direction : PaneDirection, optional
-            split in direction. If none is specified, assume down.
-        full_window_split: bool, optional
-            split across full window width or height, rather than active pane.
-        zoom: bool, optional
-            expand pane
+            Direction to split, e.g. :attr:`PaneDirection.Right`.
+        full_window_split : bool, optional
+            If True, split across the entire window height/width.
+        zoom : bool, optional
+            If True, zoom the new pane (``-Z``).
         shell : str, optional
-            execute a command on splitting the window.  The pane will close
-            when the command exits.
-
-            NOTE: When this command exits the pane will close.  This feature
-            is useful for long-running processes where the closing of the
-            window upon completion is desired.
-        size: int, optional
-            Cell/row or percentage to occupy with respect to current window.
-        environment: dict, optional
-            Environmental variables for new pane. tmux 3.0+ only. Passthrough to ``-e``.

+Implementation Notes
+--------------------
+- :func:`fetch_objs` retrieves lists of raw field data from tmux.
+- :func:`fetch_obj` retrieves a single tmux object by its key and ID.
+- :class:`Obj` is a base dataclass that holds common tmux fields.
