This question reveals that Alt+` switches windows within a program just like Alt+Tab switches between open programs. Wow neat, thought I, I've always wondered why Alt+Tab didn't do this the way Windows does.
Problem:
On my non-US keyboard layout, the grave accent is not above the Tab key. It's a dead key next to Backspace. For one thing the placement of ` makes it really cumbersome to type; and second, it doesn't work because it's a dead key.
I'd like this to work. How can I either:
- reassign Alt+` to Alt + [whatever key is above Tab in my layout]1), or
- make the Alt+Tab switch between open programs and windows (like in MS Windows)?
1) I'm using a Danish (DK) layout, but this likely affects many non-US layouts so a generic answer would help more people.

Ah, I found an answer after posting the above: Apparently the shortcut is not the grave-accent specifically but rather "whatever key is above Tab in your current layout" -- exactly as I wanted!
Fascinating!
