Not absurd.  I had not seen these videos.

That's not what I'm saying.  You already have thisWindow set to give you
the window's id by having it set to the initial value of window 1's id,
(when that window is window 1), but instead of sending each window the
value of thisWindow, you send them the current value of window 1's id,
which changes on refocus, so that you have both windows receiving the
current value, rather than the value of thisWindow, which would be
that window's id.  You also send the string "send this to window 1",
rather than "to window N".  Both windows are receiving this "to window
1" stuff when they are not both window 1.  Sometimes neither of them is
window 1 (when you bring the white terminal to the fore), but they are
both still receiving that string, along with the id of the white window
(the current value of the id of window 1).
