That's alt-tab. (Command-tab on macs).

Indeed it is.  My bad.

Ctrl-Tab is used for navigation, and these days only at the application level, e.g. switching between tabs in a browser, or between worksheets in a spreadsheet, or between open documents in Visual Studio.

In the older Windows MDI UI it was the the OS-provided shortcut for moving between sub-windows within the parent window. But thankfully MDI was retired long ago and nothing anyone needs to think about today.

Since modern use seems to be application-defined, the only conflict we have is with its current use in LiveCode: as with browsers, the LC Script Editor supports Ctrl-Tab to switch left-to-right between tabs (with Ctrl-Shift-Tab to navigate right-to-left between tabs)
