This is a windowmanager option. For fvwm2 (on linux) I used Alt-Tab to to 
cycle windows. The setting for this is 

AddToFunc switchNext
 + "I" Next [!Iconic !Sticky] WarpToWindow 100 100
 + "I" Next [!Iconic !Sticky] Focus
 + "I" Current [Iconic] Iconify
 + "I" Current [*] Raise
 + "I" Current [*] WarpToWindow 0 0
 + "I" Current [*] WarpToWindow 50 50
     
Key Tab A   M   Function switchNext

you can use a lot of other combinations eg. 
Key F11 A   M   Function switchNext 
will enable Alt-F11 (== Meta-F11) as key for switching windows.
