Window/App switcher on active monitor

GNOME shell extension that puts the Window/App switcher on the active monitor (monitor with the cursor).

This extension is a fork of https://github.com/gedzeppelin/monitor-window-switcher.

It has the following options:

Screenshot

  • Shows the window or application switcher on the current monitor (instead on primary monitor).
  • Filter windows or applications by the monitor they are open on (instead of windows or applications opened in all monitors).
  • Filter applications by the workspace they are open on (instead of applications opened in all workspaces).

To install the extension manually run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/lepa22/window-app-switcher-on-active-monitor.git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-app-switcher-on-active-monitor@NiKnights.com
cp -r window-app-switcher-on-active-monitor/* ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/window-app-switcher-on-active-monitor@NiKnights.com

Then restart GNOME Shell by pressing Alt+F2, entering r, and pressing Enter.


Note: I made this fork because the original extension wasn't getting updated for recent GNOME versions. I know almost nothing about JavaScript and GNOME Shell extensions, so I will probably be not able to do much if GNOME does any changes to its extensions API. I also may not be able to fix any bugs if reported. Feel free to do pull requests though!
