I also wasn't sure -> my first (and intuitive) idea was that Tab cycles in the 
tips, WT windows and Operator window only when Tips are shown, that it is not 
possible to cycle into the parent window. 

Regarding Escape the idea was:

- Focus on a Tip: Tips disappear. Current focus moves to next WT window (if 
available), after WT windows into the parent window.

- Focus on a WT window: WT window is closed. Tips remain. Current Focus on 
next Tip. 

- Focus on Operator window: WT mode is finished.


Would that work better?

ok
