In the mean time I'm wondering if, even though the logical hierarchy is windows -> tabs -> panes, it would make sense to have an option "Broadcast to the visible tab in all %d windows". (And then what if the user switches tab in a window without changing the broadcast settings?)

My key point is that these are the terminals that user at least has a chance of seeing (given appropriate alignment of the windows on the desktop), and broadcasting to an invisible terminal might be dangerous. (Of course there's no guarantee that these terminals are actually visible, it's impossible to tell that)

Please take my previous comment as a feature request, and this comment as an idea that I'm just throwing in.
