Do these shortcuts work for you?

The Windows section of the Unity list has a shortcut for each of Scene View, Game View, Inspector, Hierarchy, Project and Console. The first five use the number keys in order and Console uses a letter, all with the same two modifiers. Every shortcut in Tools is a single letter: Pan/View, Move, Rotate, Scale, Rect and Transform. The Play section has Play/Pause, Pause and Step Frame on one letter with different modifiers.
