Does brotab know which window has focus? #67

Related to https://github.com/balta2ar/brotab/issues/65, does brotab know which window has focus? Or does brotab only know which tab (within a window) is active?

If I'm interpreting this correctly https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8451189/chrome-windows-getcurrent-is-not-returning-the-list-of-opened-tabs, then it looks like chrome.windows.getCurrent would get the window:

chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(win)
{
    chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(win.id, function(tabs)
    {
        // Should output an array of tab objects to your dev console.
        console.debug(tabs);
    });
});

It wonder whether it may be possible to implement that? I.e., brotab active would get the active tab in each window, but brotab activewindow would get the active window.

Just to add that, as far as I can see, this function would just be:

bt query +currentWindow

I.e., the command already exists.
