Description: In ancient Lotus software it was possible to switch between open documents using CTRL+Tab. In Calc and Write, both keyboard proentated programmes this would be a real enhancement instead of (or as well as) using the mouse to look under "Window" Sorry this is entered as a bug report I couldn't find a request merhod.

Ctrl+Tab usually traverses over tabs, like in any browser. Abusing this shortcut for windows even from one application makes not much sense to me. But since we have a list of open modules under the Windows entry I assume it's not too difficult to add a UNO command that can be customized individually. Opinions?
Yes, that's how CTRL+Tab works in a browser but in writer and calc open documents are not tabbed - or have I missed something? I'm no expert and there are so many options I may well have missed the chance to have separate open documents as tabs. If so please forgive my igorance and point me towards the answer. Thanks for your help.
(In reply to dlingard2002 from comment #2) > Writer and Calc open documents are not tabbed Exactly, they are stand-alone windows. And your OS shortcut to switch between open windows is likely alt+tab. Overwriting system functions is dirty, but admittedly beneficial in this case. So my proposal was to implement the feature but not hard-code a short cut.
On Gnome, Alt+` (key left of 1/!) does just that; switching between windows of the same application.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Gnome shows that such an option is very much welcome - and should be implemented on the OS. If LibreOffice is going to implement such a function we could imagine two options: first via UNO command that iterates through the open windows and second to label the entries unter Windows with numbers so switching per Alt+W+<number> is possible. Given that the OS might have a function the latter is the preferred solution.
