OS X: cycle between windows in visual studio code

Question

I'm trying desperately to figure out how to cycle through windows in Visual studio code. In Finder, there is a menu item Cycle Through Windows which I use frequently. However, this seems to be a Finder option. So I looked through the global shortcuts (since the requirement is probably the same for many applications) and assigned the Move focus to next window to shift-cmd-F1. This works in Finder and Text Editor, but not in Visual Studio Code. I checked if the key binding is overridden in VSC but I don't think so.

Has anyone got this figured out and can help me?

edit: just found that this is a global shortcut under System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Move focus to the next window. Unfortunately, Visual Code doesn't use it.

Answer 1

I added the following shortcut to keybindings.json

{
    "key": "alt+tab",
    "command": "workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow"
}

workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow does exactly what I want and it has no default shortcut enabled (on a spanish keyboard at least).

Answer 2

So, finally found the solution: Though for some reason the system-wide shortcut for Move focus to next window does not work, there is another shortcut which does: shift+cmd+~ :)
