It's clear that my hot key is enabled and I even reset it to command-~/` (tilde/acute key), but it doesn't work. Any ideas why?

The fix is to goto keyboard shortcut preferences and tick the option 'move focus to next window' under 'keyboard' section. Thanks fix cmd backtick
I had the same problem and it looks like if the Chrome is maximized, command-~/` (tilde/acute key) doesn’t work to shift between windows of Chrome.
So I tried minimizing, but expanded the window size manually, switching windows between Chrome work with this. So do not maximize the window.
Have the same problem. In my case problem is in the keyboard settings: § shown then I press ` on my keyboard. This is because of I choose ISO (European) in System settings -> Keyboard -> Change keyboard type wizard. Just change it to ANSI (USA and others) and ` returns.
If you need keep ISO (European) just reassign shortcut move focus to next window to command-§ (find shortcut, click on existing key combination and press on keyboard command-§/`).
A sure fire way to get that working again (barring something strange) is to restore the default keyboard shortcuts.
Visit System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts and smack the "Restore Defaults" button.
Another potential cause of this problem is if you have changed your keyboard language. I use two different languages and it changes the location of the tilde key.
Change your keyboard back to normal language or use the key location of tilde in whatever keyboard you're using.
