Is there an alt-tab shortcut alternative to switch between apps on just the active screen?

Question

Is there a way to switch between applications on a single monitor instead of all of them?

Answer 1

There isn't one inherently built into Windows, so you'll need a 3rd party utility.

You could use DisplayFusion to pull it off:

DisplayFusion's Alt+Tab Handler has additional modes over and above what Windows offers. You can have the Alt+Tab window shown on all monitors, the current monitor, or just the Primary monitor. It can show all open windows across all monitors, or just the windows on the current monitor. You can also choose whether you'd like the window titles shown below the entries in Alt+Tab, and whether you'd like the "Desktop" entry shown or not.
