Keyboard Shortcut to Cycle through Windows?


On the Mac, I use Command + ` (the tilda) to cycle through windows in the current application (eg terminal or chrome). It's like alt + tab except only for the current application's windows. (possibly on compiz but without any flashy exposee like graphics)? Thanks!

I really did not understand your post however I think I can give you the information you need.
In a GUI to tab through windows on the same virtual desktop it is 'alt tab'. To cycle through the various virtual desktops it is 'alt left/right arrow key'.
Hope this is the info you needed.
PS:- Compiz has nothing to do with this settings.

I doubt that that's true for many window managers. Alt+Tab is almost universal, though.
