A shortcut for changing between the Bridge windows?

[.:tmas..]

Is there a way for that? I would like to avoid using a mouse.

[.:tmas..]

So, one cannot switch between Bridge windows fast, correct? Just with mouse??

On the Mac, if you open one or more secondary Bridge windows (using File > New Window), the traditional standard macOS shortcut for cycling application windows works: Press Command-` (grave accent, the top left key on a US English keyboard).

This does not apply if you floated a Bridge panel, because those are panels, not windows. Also, I have not tested if the standard Microsoft Windows keyboard shortcut for cycling application windows works in Bridge, but if you are using Windows, you should try that.

To me, Bridge windows can only be opened as floating windows. In case I'm wrong please give me a hint to open them differently. I'm using the Finnish keyboard for which of course can be chosen the US letter/mark order. Whether depending on the floating windows or the Finnish keyboard, Cmd+grave accent doesn't work.

To clarify, I am talking about the most recent version of Bridge, currently Bridge 2024 / version 14. Adobe recently redesigned how Bridge windows work, so current instructions may not apply if you are using an older version. In short, Bridge had multiple windows, then a few years ago it was redesigned to have one application window that could have multiple content tabs that could be floated, but after user complaints they restored (most of) the traditional multiple window capability. So if you are using an older version, the current shortcut and window handling may not apply.

Below is a demo of how it works on my Mac in Bridge 2024. If a new window is opened, the standard macOS window cycling keyboard shortcut works. It also shows that it also works to use the traditional macOS shortcut of adding the Shift key to cycle windows in reverse order.

The shortcut shown might work only on US English keyboards. You will want to look up the traditional window cycling shortcut on a Finnish keyboard on your computer.

For example, if you are using a recent version of macOS, you would find it under Apple menu > System Settings, open Keyboard settings, click the Keyboard Shortcuts button, select the Keyboard category, and look at the option Move Focus to Next Window. You can change that system shortcut to whatever you want, by clicking the right column (where the shortcut is) in the list.

Thanks a lot, Conrad C! I found the keyboard shortcuts table, and there is cmd+<. It works exactly I wanted. Thanks!
