When using Alt+tab to switch between windows, the list can appear on either monitor, depending on where the window that last had focus is located. When making heavy use of Alt+tab to switch between windows, I often find myself looking for the list in the wrong monitor, which makes the experience less pleasant.

I can set "Seperate Screen Focus" in System Settings/Window Behaviour/Window Behaviour, but that's not what I want - I want to able to switch between applications in either monitor.

Is there anyway to keep the Alt+Tab list on a specified monitor, or have it display on both?

No, there are no configuration options for that. It is always shown on the current active screen.

Hello, I have a problem (Dual Monitors, separate Screens without Xinerama). When using Alt+tab, the window can appear on any screen (not only the current active screen). Is there any way to assign "Alt+tab"-list with ONLY current Screen.

The tabbox should always show up on the current screen. Whether that is the screen with the window which currently has the input focus or the screen where the mouse is can be controlled in "kcmshell4 kwinoptions"
-> un/check "active screen follows mouse"
