To move the focus between the two terminals, you use the direction keys which
you may know from the editor +vi+. However, in i3, your homerow is used for
these keys (in +vi+, the keys are shifted to the left by one for compatibility
with most keyboard layouts). Therefore, +mod+J+ is left, +mod+K+ is down,
+mod+L+ is up and `mod+;` is right. So, to switch between the terminals,
use +mod+K+ or +mod+L+. Of course, you can also use the arrow keys.

It is recommended that you match on window classes insetead of window titles
whenever possible because some applications first create their window, and then
worry about setting the correct title. Firefox with Vimperator comes to mind.
The window starts up being named Firefox, and only when Vimperator is loaded
