Correct answer Conrad_C

There are actually two sets of shortcuts for switching windows in Photoshop CC. One is the OS shortcut that Photoshop respects, which c.pfaffenbichler covered. The other is the older traditional Photoshop shortcut for switching windows, which on the Mac is Control-Tab or Shift-Control-Tab (that really does use the Control key on the Mac, not Command). Both ways work for me in Photoshop CC in Mavericks.

The shortcut you mentioned, Command-< , is not a default shortcut for window switching for the US keyboard. Is your keyboard set to a different language? That might be part of the issue. Or you could try resetting your preferences (start Photoshop while holding Command-Option-Shift).

Search google for the forum you want. It isn't hard. If you can't use Google you need training we cannot give.

The link appears to be working now.  Perhaps someone edited it.

Thanks Conrad, you have relieved hours of frustration, and reverse order?

That is an OS matter.

Check out System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard & Text… > Move focus to the next window

Unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem.

Any other ideas?
