Browse different windows panel

[sphuyal]

Hi,

I don´t know how to browse/bring up again different sub-panels (small windows) of a program.

I mean...lets say i have safari open. then i click on preferences and a window pops-up. but if i click on safari main window again, the preferences panel runs in background and i have to minimize the safari browser to view it. Is there a way to view such different sub-panels without having to minimize the window??

PS! i know abt cmd+shift+tab thing

I don't quite understand what you are asking, but here are a few tips:

Command + ` (tilde, above Tab) - switch between windows of the current application.
Command + Tab - switch between open (non-minimized) windows of all appliations (adding shift will reverse the order of program navigation)
Command + H - hide the current application and all of its windows (allows it to be still accessible by Command + Tab)

Also, clicking an icon in the dock will bring up an application's windows to the front of the screen.

This command is not working for me. I know about other commands.

Let me make clear by an example: I have safari (or anyother app) open then i go to preferences (or tools or view or whatsoever) from the menu bar of the open app. then a window pops-up where you can change the settings. Sometimes i just want to switch between different windows to make changes. So if i have larger window open than the small window (like the pref. panel), the smaller window is not accessible until i minimize all the larger windows.

SO i want to know if there is any cmd or way to do tat

Yes. what he says works: command+`

Alternately just press the expose shortcut for 'show all app windows'
