Try the green halo, it is meant to duplicate windows, useful in
that and in other use cases, too.

Alternatively, I also think maybe we ought to commit the attached
change to trunk, which would also allow you to do that by simply
dirtying the bottom pane (i.e., type a space).

Reuse Windows is great, besides reducing window proliferation, it
mostly allows bypassing the need to "find windows" by enabling a more
"directive" way of working (where I sinmply select or type what I want
and let the machine do the work).
