SUMMARY

Having multiple screens it may be desirable to only switch a window via the overview effect on a specific screen but to leave the other screens untouched.

In my case I have two screens, where on screen A sometimes is a single fullscreen application and only on screen B the overview effect needed.

Therefor a possibility to invoke the overview effect only for a specific / active screen with a different hotkey would be convenient.

I get the use-case, but the UI for configuring this would be too complicated to make it worthwhile for such a niche feature.
