When the Switcher is opened with one of the Ctrl Keyboard shortcuts it is in document window mode, meaning that repeatedly pressing Tab or shift tab while keeping Ctrl pressed will loop through all open document windows. When the Switcher is opened with one of the Alt keyboard shortcuts it is in tool window mode, meaning that repeatedly pressing F7 or Shift + F7 allows you to select one of the open tool windows.
