Tabbing between Windows

Is there a way to tab between the different windows of a browser if they are not on a tabbed browser? For example, (don't flame me for this), on Apple's, alt-tab goes between programs but you cannot go between individual windows of one program say IE. Windows you can alt-tab between these. I am just curious. I am slowly converting to using all tabbed browsers but this was just one of those things that was bugging me.

    Cmd-tab between apps.



    Cmd-~ between windows *within* an app.



    Lets you cycle between windows inside an app without jumping from app to app ala Windows.

    Thank you so much. That was driving me crazy and I knew there had to be a way to do it.

    Also, hold shift to cycle *backwards* through the apps and windows.

    I knew how to shift through programs. I just didn't know about shifting through individual windows of a specific program. Thanks though.

    Took me a couple of months to find command~ and even then on the web. I think it highlights how much the Mac OS X help sucks.

    And using a non US keyboard (well, most non US keyboards) the shortcuts are cmd-< and cmd-> for cycling through windows.

    jpp1cd: If you want more control over switching between applications system-wide and between windows within individual applications, you should check out Michael Kamprath's Keyboard Maestro. I started using Michael's Application Switcher with OS 6 or 7. Keyboard Maestro, which is OS X only, is significantly more powerful and useful.
