That (too) sounds good.  But maybe (get-mru-window 0 t t) is better.
Or (get-mru-window 'visible t t).  I'm not that familiar with use
of frames in terminal mode, so it's not clear to me what the
restriction of these to "the current terminal" entails.  That
restriction is not mentioned in regard to an ALL-FRAMES value of `t'.

I wasn't aware of (or forgot about) `window-use-time'.
