No! I like having more than one programmer window open at a time. Then I
just pop up the one I need at the moment -- much faster and convenient than
reopening them, especially in a club situation, where you may be programming
several decoders recurrently.
For a 'racetrack' mode, you need to be able to step through the speed tables
of both locos concurrently and adjust each speed table entry for one (or even
both) loco. I think the stepping through the speed tables doesn't require
linking the two op-mode programming pages, but would be convenient. I had
envisioned a single page with the spped table of the second loco, and some
buttons for stepping up and down the speed tables.

How about _this_ approach?
Allow 2 decoders to be open at once, in "layered" windows. This would
let you twiddle both speed curves.
Maybe this ought to be a "special case" programmer, and use only the
MinV, MidV, MaxV, forward and reverse trim, and speed curve pane (split
horizontally for two locomotives) and allow manual entry of the
address.
More than one ops-mode programmer can be open at a time, so that's no
problem except for perhaps screen space. It might be useful to
create a programmer format that's really svelte so you can fit 2 or 3
or 4 on the screen at once.
Right now, you can actually open more than one programmer screen at
the same time. They work independently of each other, which is
confusing, but they do work. Once I make these changes to include
ops-mode, I was going to limit it to only one service-mode (e.g.
programming track) programmer window at a time.
