Is there a way to only show apps on my current monitor when I hit Alt+Tab on a dual monitor setup?

Does this answer your question? Ubuntu 18.04 - get Ubuntu dock to only display the windows from the current screen (monitor) – vanadium Apr 27 '22 at 08:44

@vanadium Nope. Doesn't work. – Trees4theForest Apr 27 '22 at 13:46

1I could have know if I paid better attention: the alt tab switcher can be configured to work on the current workspace only, but not to work on the current monitor, unlike the dock. So I guess the answer to your question simply is a "No". – vanadium Apr 27 '22 at 15:56

This extension seems to work for me: Current screen only on window switcher
According to the extension's GitHub page:
It filters the windows shown in the window switcher to those of the current monitor.
You can enable it from its page on the Gnome extensions site: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1437/current-screen-only-for-alternate-tab/
Or, to install manually :
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions git clone https://github.com/mmai/Current_screen_only_on_window_switcher.git Current_screen_only_for_Alternate_Tab@bourcereau.fr...and reload gnome shell :
- Open the Run a Command dialog by pressing Alt+F2 on the keyboard.
- Enter just r in the box and press Enter.

Can anyone tell me why this answer is so poor that it was a test on my mod queue? To me it genuinely 'looks ok' without having to actually try it. – pbhj Aug 24 '22 at 10:16

1i am disappointed by the fact that gnome needs an extension for every single small fart. – Nik O'Lai Jul 28 '23 at 07:04
