I tried with next-window, but does it give me current-buffers window when there
are no other windows? When there are two windows, it works fine.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun remote-control-other-window ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((buffer (window-buffer (next-window))))
    (if (and buffer (get-buffer-window buffer))
        (progn
          (read-key-sequence (format "Run command in %s buffer: "
                                     (buffer-name buffer)))
          (with-current-buffer buffer
            (call-interactively
             (key-binding
              (kbd (edmacro-format-keys (vector last-input-event)))))))
      (keyboard-quit))))
#+end_src
