When there are two windows, it works fine. It does no harm when the command is redirected to the same single window. > If it would be interesting to develop furhter, where would it belong? > Windmove.el or elswehere? Windmove.el looks like the most suitable place since it also provides quick keys for customization. The same way you can choose a key to use another window, like there are already similar keys to scroll another window with M-/C-M-v and M-/C-M-S-v, etc.
