Re: Is there anyway that Vim can 'tag' or 'name' a window for future reference?

As soon as I learned there is a 'winnr()' built-in function,
everything is easy now.

'winnr()' is a bit problematic since the window number is not stable
(if you create a new window, the existing window's number may change)
but I can work around it.

Thanks to all for the answers.
