How to focus on second window via hotkey?

Hello everyone,

I've searched the interwebs high and low, but apparently it's not possible to switch between the 'main' window and the 'second' window using your computer keyboard?

This is problematic if you use the piano roll on a second monitor as part of the second window, and want to quickly switch between arrangement view (containing the timeline with the clips) and the piano roll (containing the notes).

It's apparently possible to use Shift+Tab to switch views, but this only works WITHIN one such window, and there's no hotkey to switch between both of the opened windows?

Why don't they use standard windows Window Handles, so you can just Alt+Tab between them anyway?
