How do I switch between open windows?
Command+Tab switches between opened applications, but for example, when I open preferences-window of BetterTouchTool I don't get it shown via Command+Tab.

Cmd+` will allow you to switch between the open windows of the current application. Very useful.

Yep, I'm familiar with this keyboard shortcut, however it won't help in this situation. Jul 30, 2012 at 16:29

@Anonymous I was trying to write the tilda key, the one that is right above the tab key.– de_an777Jul 30, 2012 at 17:55

Yep, and it does not work on a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I'm also used to the Cmd+` shortcut (Cmd+# on my Azerty keyboard). Sep 15, 2012 at 18:00

By default (on a clean install of Mountain Lion), there is a keyboard shortcut "Move focus to active or next window", ^F4, which worked for activating the BetterSnapTool preference window (which is the same deal, activating a window in an app that doesn't have a dock icon).

If you want to switch between windos within ONE application, you rather want to use the "Move focus to next window" command, 3 lines below the marked line in the screenshot above.
Shortcut key to switch between opened windows is Alt+Tab
