I long ago put the following in my .emacs:

(defun goto-next-window ()
  "Go to the next window after saving the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (if (buffer-file-name) (save-buffer))
  (other-window 1))

(defun goto-previous-window ()
  "Go to the previous window after saving the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (if (buffer-file-name) (save-buffer))
  (other-window -1))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-<prior>") 'goto-previous-window)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-<next>") 'goto-next-window)
