Accidentally I found this keyboard shortcut, Alt+Shift+Esc. It iterates over all open windows in current workspace with some Orange border.
I searched on the internet but found nothing about it.
So just wanted to know, what actually this shortcut is?
I am currently on Xorg Gnome ubuntu 17.10.

From the GNOME Shell documentation:
Alt+Esc
Cycle through all open windows on a workspace.
Adding Shift to a cycling shortcut usually just reverses the order (compare Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab).

In my case (16.04, gnome) adding shift does not simply reverse the action. Instead, with alt-esc I can only change between the last two windows, only with shift I can cycle through all open windows.

@SebastianStark since the behaviour you describe for Alt Esc is clearly different from the docs, either you're seeing a bug or the behaviour changed after whichever version of GNOME 16.04 uses

@muru I don't think your second hypothesis (i.e. "behaviour changed after whichever version of GNOME 16.04") is true, alt+esc does cycle through all open windows on a workspace here (Ubuntu 17.10, GNOME v3.26). So it seems either it's a bug or Sebastian somehow overrode the default behaviour.

Correct, something is different with my 16.04 installation (not sure what, I didn't override it), on another machine running 18.04 beta alt-esc behaves as described.
