First, I think the syntax of Menu is very bad. A better one would be:

  Menu menu-name (position-hints) double-click-action

Now, we already have 2 collisions with it: "Mouse" and "Menu"!
I would not rename anything, i.e. leave "This" as is, and change the
"Menu" syntax in 2.5.x.

Second, "ThisWindow" is ok, but "This" fits better into existing names.
Probably there is a better name, like "WorkingWindow". But I can't find
anything that is better than "This".

I have no problem if we rename all (or none) conditionals:

  Next -> NextWindow
  Prev -> PrevWindow
  Current -> FocussedWindow
  Direction -> WindowAtDirection
  All -> AllWindows
  Any -> AnyWindow
  None -> NoWindow
  Pick -> PickWindow
  This -> CurrentWindow, ActiveWindow, WorkingWindow, OperandWindow?

As for what to do (if at all) about "This" now, I would ask someone
independent. Tim?

Mikhael.
