Try alt + left and right arrow keys.

Left Amiga-Tab works on mine.

You can set this up using FKEY (commodity) by assigning a key combination to 'cycle windows'.  Doesn't work quite the same as the Windows version though as it just swaps windows as soon as you press the key (it doesn't come up with a dialog showing you the icons of the programs).

Hope this helps...

Thats working here.. on my Amiga 4000 without any problems. You should be a Amiga teacher :) Good teaching.

Just tried it on my 4000/3.9, it only works on drawers, not Shell windows. It might not work on application windows, either.

well there is a quite nice hack/utility that does something to that vein and that is DepthMenu...

When you right click on the depth gadget of a window you get a list of all open windows and can go directly to that one since it brings it to the front and all. (it does the same for screens on the screen depth gadget) you can also minimize and maximize windows etc.
