Alt-tab throuh app windows
I'm a long time PC user who recently bought a new MacBook Pro (I love it!!) to replace my old Dell laptop and I'm just getting into the whole Mac environment. One of the only issues I've had so far is my inability to alt-tab through windows in an app (not just through all the open apps) I would like to be able to change the window of focus when an app has multiple windows open, like an IM client or multiple Firefox windows. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?

The alternative to ALT+TAB is APPLE+TAB that cycles thru the running applications however you mentioned the need to thru the open windows in one... usually thats done via the "window" menu on the menu bar however can Expose not do what you need?

Apple-tab -> switch between applications
Apple-back tick (`, above the tab) -> switch between windows of the application
F10/F11/F12 -> expose (have to hold fn to get at F10), i forget whats what, but one shows desktop, one shows all windows of the application, and one shows all windows
