Nice idea. Minor frill: frame REV will put any red character you want into
your XPL; you could use that instead of the wild-X.

A different approach might be to ALt-TaB back and forth a few times between the
two iterations, inserting say a 2-second (2000 millisecond) WaiT (or pause)
instruction between the ALt-TaBs, to give you time to visually locate your
cursor(s) in the two windows -- and make sure they're big flashing Insert (not
Overstrike) cursors! -- e.g.:

key(ALTBWT{2000}ALTBWT{2000}ALTB)
