Linux Mint switch between windows of same application

Question

Alt + Tab circles through all the open windows. But I'd like to reduce that choice to those windows of the application I'm currently in.

For instance, if I'm looking at a directory using Nemo, the file manager, and I want to jump to another directory that is open in another window, I don't want to cycle through all those other open applications, just the other open Nemo windows.

Is there a shortcut to do this?

I'm on Linux Mint Debian Edition and type on a German keyboard.

uname -a gives

Linux me 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux

On my Asus laptop, it's Alt+~ (tilde), not caret.

Alt + ^ does the trick.

I found this nowhere documented though and it's also not listed in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts

Another approach is to use multiple desktops/workspaces. Open the applications you want to use together in the same desktop or move them there. – fixer1234 Sep 30 '14 at 16:09

Found this while looking for the same shortcut on Fedora. Alt+~ works.
