How to tab to an open dialog, i.e. Scale Tool dialog?

Hi, I like using a programmable mouse to aid with certain commands. Unfortunately, I cannot recall or find info on how to simply use the keyboard to tab to an open dialog box. Instead, when I press Tab right after activating, in this case, the Scale Tool, I can't find what the focus is on, and eventually it starts entering Fullscreen Mode or exiting it, over and over. At that point, trying to press Shift+Tab doesn't get me back anywhere previous to that, it also acts as a hotkey to Fullscreen.

Of course, if I click somewhere with my mouse and start pressing Tab, then I can see where the focus is. It just seems like there should be a hotkey that is defined for traversing the different dialogs. Hopefully, there is.
