I've got a great keyboard shortcut for that: alt-tab. The best thing
about it is that it works for everything so your editor doesn't also
need to integrate every other piece of software that's already
available on your system. :)

Seriously though, I showed my girlfriend (a social worker) how to do
alt-tab a couple of months ago and she was really pleased with the
productivity boost; she showed everyone at her work and is now
considered an IT pro in her office!
