In the What's new page for 11.10 it says that Alt+` (grave accent) can be used to switch between windows of applications:
This sounds inconvenient on my keyboard because:
- ` is shifted (I have to press Shift+´ (accute accent) to access it, and
- ` is located left of Backspace (so it's far from Alt and this makes the combination hard to press with one hand).
When I press Alt+Shift+´, which should be equivalent to pressing Alt+` on my keyboard, nothing happens. So, how do I use this feature with my keyboard, that is, how do I switch between windows of applications with my keyboard?

The What's new page seems to not tell the whole truth when it says that the key combination for switching between windows of application is Alt+` (grave accent) because this is only true for the keyboards that has ` placed above Tab.
The key combination to switch between windows of applications is Alt+[The key above Tab]. On my keyboard the key above Tab is § and the key combination and thus the key combination to switch between windows of applications is Alt+§.
