I'm using a completely different solution.  Using switch-window 
(https://github.com/dimitri/switch-window) with switch-window-threshold 
2 (reverts to other-window if only 1 or 2 windows are open)

The way it ends up working for more than 2 windows open is

+------+-------+
| [1]  |   2   |
|      |       |
+------+-------+
| 3    |   4   |
|      |       |
+------+-------+

C-x o
+------+-------+
| 1111 | 2222  |
| 1111 | 2222  |
+------+-------+
| 3333 | 4444  |
| 3333 | 4444  |
+------+-------+

3

+------+-------+
| 1    |   2   |
|      |       |
+------+-------+
| [3]  |   4   |
|      |       |
+------+-------+


So if more than 2 windows are open, C-x o replaces the window text with 
a large number and I press the number of the window I want to go to.
