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. – Anonymous Jul 30 '12 at 16:29
  • @Anonymous What about CMD+<? – gentmatt Jul 30 '12 at 17:32
  • @Anonymous I was trying to write the tilda key, the one that is right above the tab key. – de_an777 Jul 30 '12 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). – Bleep Bloop Sep 15 '12 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).enter image description here

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.

    Are you sure you are not confusing OS X and Windows here? – nohillside♦ Dec 15 '12 at 13:19
