This is a feature request: When using any task switcher the preview window/task selection window is only shown on the active monitor. This is probably intentional, but having the ability to show the task switcher on all monitors would be preferable since jumping through windows to check on different applications means that the active window also changes and you have to find the last active window to follow the task switcher. Also the second monitor does not do anything while task switching so it could be utilized to show the task switcher anyway.

This cannot be implemented in the current architecture for Alt+Tab, I'm sorry.
