Thanks for the clarification.
But, maybe will be easier if "broadcast to tab" could work as "broadcast to
all" in case of only one window, and as "broadcast just to this window" in
case of several windows in the same process (and no tabs).

For me "broadcast to tab" is something like "broadcast to what I'm seeing".

Thanks!
