Seems like it is not possible with capybara-webkit right now: https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/issues/271

At the same time https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/issues/129 claims it is possible to switch windows with within_window.

Also https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/issues/47 suggests that page.driver.browser.switch_to().window(page.driver.browser.window_handles.last) works. Ah well, on to code reading.

The code at https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/blob/master/lib/capybara/webkit/browser.rb at least has some references that suggest that the API that works for webdriver / firefox is also working for webkit.
