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

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 :

  1. Open the Run a Command dialog by pressing Alt+F2 on the keyboard.
  2. Enter just r in the box and press Enter.

For those like me that came to this post recently, will find that the most voted answer won't work for newer gnome versions. But don't fear, there's an alternative now:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4412/advanced-alttab-window-switcher/

After installing, go to the extension configuration and change the 'default monitor' to 'monitor with mouse pointer' and voilá!
