Powertoys: Shortcut for toggling/cycling between windows of same app

[pheuter]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Would be absolutely wonderful to introduce something similar to the Mac Cmd ⌘ + ` shortcut, which would cycle between different windows belonging to the same app (think multiple Visual Studio windows or multiple Edge windows) without having to cycle through all other apps.

Perhaps Alt + '. How do you format keyboard keys the way you did?

This!

The lack of cmd+` style window was always a big pain point for me. I did create an AutoHotKey script to accomplish this, but I know there are some edge cases that it doesn't cover. (I will try to make note of when this doesn't work and report back here.)

; CYCLE ALL WINDOWS OF CURRENT APPLICATION
; macOS has long had this via cmd-`
; Pull bottom window to the top, and force it to display
^`::
    ; need Process and Class to restrict to current application
    ; most apps have unquie window classes, but Chromium based apps
    ; share their primary window class. Thus Google Chrome, VS Code and
    ; Electron based apps all looked the same using only `class`
    WinGet, Active_ID, ID, A
    WinGet, Active_Process, ProcessName, ahk_id %Active_ID%
    WinGetClass, class, A
    WinGet, id, list, ahk_class  %class% ahk_exe %Active_Process%
    lastItem := id%id0%
    lastItemId :=  id%lastItem%
    WinActivate, ahk_id %lastItemId%
    WinSet, Top,,  ahk_id %lastItemId%
    Winset, AlwaysOnTop, On
    Winset, AlwaysOnTop, Off
return

edit: originally pasted the wrong bit of ahk code

I've been using Easy Window Switcher for this, but it would be nice to see this implemented in PowerToys. It's a very important productivity feature for me personally, I've recently switched from MacOS to Windows and this pattern is deeply embedded into my workflow.

As an example, I usually have two Chromium windows open - one with work profile and one with a personal one.

This is a good idea. Also need shift hotkey to reverse direction :)

How do you format keyboard keys the way you did?

@Spyromaniac31 type <kbd> before and </kbd> after the text/keys
