My requirement is a bit unique, so allow me to put a bit long story
here.

I have two 24-inch dell monitors for regular coding work.  I usually
run a full-window terminal window and then run a console vim inside
the terminal.  Due to the enormous size of the terminal, I usually
split it vertically into 4 windows like following:

|                              |
|                              |                              |
|                              |
|                              |                              |
|                              |
|                              |                              |
|                              |
|                              |                              |
|     window 1         |    window 2          |     window 3
|    window 4          |
|                              |
|                              |                              |
|                              |
|                              |                              |

I developed a whole bunch of customized commands for VIM to edit files
in different windows, move files between windows, etc, etc. (If you
are interested, you can look at 
http://code.google.com/p/spititan/source/browse/trunk/configuration/vimrc).

The problem I have is: the more I work on this window layout, the more
I feel that Vim lacks of facilities to identify windows, for example,
if I want to implement a customized command to exchange the files
between current window and window 1, I don't have a straightforward
way to identify the current window number, which is a major obstacle
to develop more sophisticated commands on this layout.

Anybody has any idea?

Thanks.




See :help winnr()

Windows are numbered from 1 at top left to (whatever many windows there are) are bottom right.

- winnr() is the number of the current window
- winnr('$') is the number of windows (or the number of the last window) in the current tab page - winnr('#') is the number of the latest window accessed before the current one

If you use several tab pages, see also :help tabpagewinnr()

Beware that :new :split :vsplit :sview etc. change the numbers of all existing windows after the new one (unless, of course, the new window is the last one). Also, moving the windows about with Ctrl-W followed by one of HJKLRrx will of course change the window numbers.


Best regards,
Tony.
