navigating icons with tab key with open window

Just a quick one -- is there any way to use the tab key (or any keystroke combination to cycle through the icons in the taskbar when an app is open?

Your question is unclear, what do you mean "cycle through"?

 

What I mean is that there are certain keystrokes that you can use in order to highlight icons and carry out actions rather than use the mouse -- when you show the desktop and press the tab key, it 'cycles' or puts a little box around each desktop icon -- then it goes to the taskbar and highlights it (or seems to put it in relief) -- each icon, and then if you want to open that app or document, you jut hit return. I was wondering if there was a way to highlight he icons in the taskbar when the desktop isn't showing -- right now the only way I can do this if the desktop is showing and there are no documents open (such as word, for example) If I want to cycle through the taskbar items, then I have to show the desktop before I can do that. Does that make sense?
