Also show/determine windows #30

This is a feature request. Maybe it doesn't fit, but I thought it would, so let me know.

I had a hanging window on my mac (some 3rd party payment authorisation when renewing my Apple ID) I couldn't get rid of. When I clicked on the window, the app-name in the menu didn't change. So I couldn't find out what process the window belonged to, so I couldn't kill it.

Wouldn't it be nice if there also was a checkbox "windows". And maybe also an option to select a window to determine the process (a bit like "Select element" in the web browser's developer tools).

In the end I used this python3 script from stackexchange to determine the window, but it could be easier...

This doesn't really fit within the intended functionality of Sloth but thanks for bringing up the idea.
