Hi - i like to use separate spaces as really separate and therefor am looking for a way to use cmd+tab like functionality but have it only switch between the active apps within current space.  
Thanks Maurice

@MauriceGrassau:  
You can do this with the free app [HyperSwitch](http://bahoom.com/hyperswitch/). Granted, it is listed as “beta” software, but I have been using it for over a year with no issues. It’s fairly customizable, too; I have it set up so that CMD+TAB cycles through all open apps, OPT+TAB cycles through all windows on the current space only (do this by disabling “Include windows from other spaces” in the prefs), and OPT+` cycles through all windows for the current app on the current space.

Hope that helps!

This works like a charm - exactly what I was trying to achieve. Thank you very much!
