It already exists.

C-x C-o (small oh) will move the cursor to the "other" window,
whatever that other window may be.  This can be invoked indefinitely
between the two open windows, moving the cursor back and forth between
the two, while leaving both windows open.

If you use C-x C-0 (zero), it will move the cursor to the "other"
window and CLOSE the window the cursor is currently in.  C-x C-1 (one)
will CLOSEY the other window while keeping current window open and the
cursor in the window the cursor is currently in.  Whew!

I don't know much about emacs, but I do know that!  ;)
