Cycling

You can switch between application windows and dialogs that are running, these items also appear in the window tasklist, with the Alt-Tab keyboard shortcut. When holding down the Alt key and pressing Tab or Shift-Tab, a task switcher overlay will appear on the screen with the list of running applications. To switch to the next window or dialog in the list, you continue to hold down the Alt key and pressing Tab or Shift-Tab repeatedly to either go left/down or right/up.
