This has been the case for many years now and it persists in Photoshop CS3.
To switch windows within the application, instead of being able to press Command-`, as you can in almost every single other Mac application, you must press Command-Shift-`.
The only reason I can think this is the case is that the keyboard shortcut might be hardcoded as Command-~ and to achieve the ~ character on a UK keyboard you must hold down Shift whilst pressing `.
So, all I ask is if anyone else is bothered by this and if anyone knows a way of changing this keyboard shortcut? I cannot find it anywhere in the Keyboard Shortcuts screen.

I didn't even know Photoshop had a shortcut to switch windows. But that works. How did you find out?

That's Adobe for you. No respect for the Mac users environment.

Back in CS1 or CS2 I discovered it, though using CS2 on my MacBook for the last year it would randomly stop working sometimes until the next reboot and I never did work out why.
I tried it in the first place because Shift-` = ~ and Command-~ is how the window-switching shortcut is sometimes written.

Does this affect US keyboards too, then? I thought it only affected UK ones and that this was why Adobe hadn't bothered to ever fix it, as maybe they don't particularly care about other countries... Now I feel better, knowing they care not about everyone equally!
If only it was a keyboard shortcut for an actual menu item... The Finder and BBEdit, as two examples, have "Cycle Through Windows" under the "Window" menu, allocated to Command-` by default, but because it is actually listed there you can change it to anything you want.

To switch between open documents in PS for me is control+tab. It's a non-standard shortcut, but no harder than command+` is, once you get used to it.

Nice one, that works too. I find it okay to use on its own but when I am swapping between lots of documents and performing other tasks on each using other (Command key based) shortcuts, moving my thumb between Command and Control unfortunately means that Command-Shift-` is still faster. But is helpful for the future, though it does stamp home what zro was saying about Adobe. Oh well.
