Thanks for the point, it was nice to learn it (I like to learn about
exotic UIs)

By the way, you can achieve the same in Windows : you have to make one
of the window a top-level window while leaving the other (the one you
type in) a normal window which still keep the keyboard focus. As most
applications does not allow you to make it a top-level-window
explicitely, you may need a tool like DeskPins :
http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/programs/deskpins.html  then,
simply put a pin on the title bar of the window you want to stay on
top.
