Window switcher constrain to monitor

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to constrain the window switcher to only switch to the windows on the same monitor?

I recently installed Manjaro with XFCE 4.13 and got it pretty much set-up the way i like it. This feature would be a nice addition.

Best regards,

Re: Window switcher constrain to monitor

Hello and welcome.

What are you referring to with "window switcher"?

If you are referring to Alt-tab functionality, then I don't think it's possible. Here are a couple of related bug reports: #8865 and #12625 (which includes a patch).

If you are referring to the Window  Buttons plugin, then you can filter out other windows by unselecting the "Show windows from all monitors" option in the properties dialog.

If you are referring to the Window Menu plugin, then it doesn't look like its possible either.
