And more: one called “__NSTextViewCompletionWindow”.
Add “whose visible is true” and now you don’t get __NSTextViewCompletionWindow,
but you also don’t get minimized windows.
So now we know how to get TextEdit’s windows in each of the following groups:
• all in (just) the current space
* all non-minimizzed
* all including invisible dialogs
What we don’t know how to do is get all of TextEdit’s “real” windows, regardless of their space or minimization. This seems to me to be a major problem. There must be yet another formulation that gives me what I want, or I (we) would have run into this a long time ago.
