1. Unsplit Windows is a very poor name. It doesn't give you a hint of what
it does; in particular, it doesn't suggest that the current window is the
only one that will remain displayed.
I agree this name is sort of confusing. I do not see any obvious
right name, but I came up with Absorb Other Windows, which I think is
pretty clear. I have been trying to think of other verbs, but I can't
find one that is entirely right. "Devour"? "Ingest"? "Conquer"?
FWIW, I see nothing wrong with "Unsplit". At least one other GUI
program uses "Remove split", which is very similar; if that is better,
let's use it. I think names like "Absorb", "Devour", etc. will tell
nothing to users.
