Hi there,

In short:
If a screen session has multiple windows, does any one know how to tell the
number of the current visible window?

In long:
As I explained in this thread
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2018-09/msg00000.html>, I
have two monitors running two screen sessions, and a vim window in one and
bash in the other, and I am using screen '-X stuff' command to send shell
commands from the vim window to the bash window to execute them. Because
the screen session in which the bash lives might have multiple windows, I
want to make sure the bash window receiving commands is visible and if it
is not, explicitly switch to that by selecting them. However, if a window
is already selected, selecting it again causing an annoying message box and
a pause in the screen display, so I want to avoid selecting already
selected window. I know the window number where the bash runs, but how can
I get the current visible window number?

Regards.
