See :help winnr()

Windows are numbered from 1 at top left to (whatever many windows there
are) are bottom right.

- winnr() is the number of the current window
- winnr('$') is the number of windows (or the number of the last window)
in the current tab page
- winnr('#') is the number of the latest window accessed before the
current one

If you use several tab pages, see also :help tabpagewinnr()

Beware that :new :split :vsplit :sview etc. change the numbers of all
existing windows after the new one (unless, of course, the new window is
the last one). Also, moving the windows about with Ctrl-W followed by
one of HJKLRrx will of course change the window numbers.

Best regards,
Tony.
