Hi,

I would like to only display the task switcher on my primary monitor, as it is very confusing to try to find the task switcher as I am trying to find a specific window.

Please let me know how I can do this. I am on Manjaro KDE

You mean in a panel? How about adding a panel with just the Task Manager in it? Not sure I understand the problem...

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I mean, when I press alt+tab, I want that task switcher to only appear on my primary monitor. Task switcher is the name of the settings in System settings > Window Management > Task Switcher.

I am using KDE Plasma 5.20.3 on Manjaro. (5.8.18-1-MANJARO)

Well, it does follow the active window, so if the currently active window is on the second screen it will of course appear there. Not sure you can actually change that, maybe with an alternative switcher, but I never tried.

Thank you for your input. Do you know who I could turn to? Is there a github repo or other forum where people develop the task switcher?
