Dear Martin, as far as I know, there is no handy way to reassign a shortcut key combination to window swtiching *inside* Mathematica. However, it is possible to use external applications, that register clicks and key hits, and call arbitrary functions: one particularly fitting is AutoHotkey: http://www.autohotkey.com/ My personal solution is to assign the Win+Tab key to send Ctrl+F6 to Mathematica (and change between Mathematica windows), and by this way, I can rely on Alt+Tab as well to change between other windows and Mathematica. The AutoHotkey language is easy like hell, but since this is a Mathematica forum, I won't flood it with example code. Email me if you need further help.
