[vim/vim] `WinNew` to provide window-ID (Issue #10633)
Sergey Vlasov
Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.
It is impossible to get an ID of the new window when WinNew is triggered, <amatch> expands to an empty string.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow expanding <amatch> to window-ID during WinNew, similar to how WinClosed works.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Iterating through all windows and sorting by window ID. The largest ID supposedly belongs the new window.

You can get the Window ID with win_getid():
au WinNew * echomsg win_getid()
Is there a reason you cannot use that?

Yes, win_getid() works.
