Hi, sure, I wouldn't have copy-pasted the code and of course there are techniques to avoid code duplication. It's not so much what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is that the concept of window-switching gets "smeared" over several other not-really related concepts such as clicking and typing. I feel it violates orthogonality: http://www.artima.com/intv/dry3.html is the best freely available resource I could find but I think it's best explained in The Pragmatic Programmer http://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Programmer-Journeyman-Master/dp/020161622X.
