Thank you for this, Heiko.  I had no idea that it was so complicated.

I see from the stackexchange hint that the switch between windows of the 
same app is supposed to be CMD+'.  This is found in the System Keyboard 
shortcuts.

I've tested it and it doesn't work in any app that I use. :-( Each one 
tested uses CMD+~

In the end, I can learn something new but I really would like it to be 
consistent across LO.  Right now Impress & Writer use CMD+~ but with 
Calc I can only switch between open windows by using the menu.  That 
really screws up the workflow.

I have logged a bug.
