Is there a standard keyboard command in Mac OS X to switch between the windows of an active application? For example, if I have two Safari windows open, each showing a different website, how can I switch between them without using the mouse?

Thanks.

I have had varying degrees of success using Cmd-~ for some reason. It works sometimes, but not at others. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I think some Carbon applications may not support the shortcut. But I don't generally have any problem.

And then there are some apps that sort of support it. Photoshop, for example, will bring the window forward, but to actually interact with the window, you have to click on it and then do whatever you wanted to do. I get this with Safari sometimes too. Annoying.
