Emacs, switching to another frame (Mac OS X)

I can switch between windows with "C-x o", but if I have opened multiple frames, can I move between them without the mouse as well?

I just realized that the question probably sounds braindead without this detail: I'm on Mac OS X (Finnish keyboard) and switching between windows of the same application is difficult.

Put this in your .emacs

(global-set-key "\M-`" 'other-frame)

Then you can do Command-` to switch between emacs frames.

I use M-x next-multiframe-window (bound to a key of course). Better IMHO than M-x other-frame (C-x 5 o).

next-multiframe-window steps thorough the windows of each frame. other-frame toggles just steps through the frames (like ALT-TAB)
