Yes. Or Ctrl-W w goes to the next window (round-robin) in displayed
sequence, Ctrl-W W to the previous one (but either of them with a
count go to the nth from top, not the nth from where you are), and
mouse-clicking in any window or on its status bar goes to that window.

So if there are only two split-windows, Ctrl-W w (or, if your thumb
moves slowly, Ctrl-W Ctrl-W) goes from either one to the other.

Happy Vimming!
Tony.
