The "current" or shorthand "*" window id targets only work when called 
from within e16 when activated via a border action or keybinding, but 
not when called via eesh. The "current" target worked with eesh in 
0.16.7.x but this was more or less deliberately disabled somewhere along 
the line.
I have committed a fix that makes the "current" target work with eesh again.

Thanks,
