  1. Is there a way to make Alt-Tab only show the windows on the current monitor?


    I find the built-in alt tab very cluttered, especially if I have many things open on two monitors.

    I've tried DisplayFusion and it worked perfectly, but the way it implements alt-tab meant that for some reason it was breaking some other code I have for listening to hotkeys.

    Is there another way to make alt-tab only show windows per monitor? Windows + tab is too slow for me.

    Thanks!

    Taskbar not showing while alt-tabbed with multiple monitors

    I'm running two monitors, monitor A is my main monitor, and monitor B is my secondary i use for videos and everything while gaming. When I have a game on monitor A and I alt+tab out to a window on my second monitor, the taskbar doesn't show up. It's the
    same when i click off my game on monitor A to monitor B. In windows 7 whenever I did this the taskbar would show up, but now unless i specifically alt+tab to a window on monitor A taskbar will not show up. Doesn't anyone know a registry or way to make it so
    i don't have to keep going to windows on monitor A to make the taskbar show up.

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.

    Is there a way to make Alt-Tab only show the windows on the current monitor?

    Is alt+tabbing bad for your monitor or TV?

    Well your monitor will only go on and off from Alt+ TAB if you are switching from an odd resolution to the desktop resolution.
    Also you could just windowed borderless.
