Hi,
I think it would be nice if there is an option, that you can see the windows of all desktops or all screens while window-switching with Alt-Tab. The window-list in Plasma already has such an option, and the expose-effect has no option but every time shows all windows, so there should be an option, too. Greets

Your idea is very strange. It already changed three categories. Anyway. The problem is that, you seem to propose two wry vague ideas.
First you wish to see all windows with alt tab, this already exists with present windows effect. Then you go on to propose that "expose" (desktop grid?) effect should be able not to present all windows. That's another idea. Well present windows does both part of your idea. It could be that with expose you meant present windows in that case yor idea is laready implemented. Present windows has two hotkey ctrl+F9 for current desktop and ctrl+F10 for all desktops. I feel that it's no need to have this also implemented in alt tab, as that's why presnet windows was developed. But if you wish to have an option that desktop grid shows only windows from current desktop you can propose that, but I see no point in that.

I meant Present windows... (sry wasn't sure how this is called in english, use only the german kde, but in Mac OS this feature is called expose I think). You're right that this has two hotkeys, I had put this on left upper corner and didn't knew the hotkeys.
Showing not all windows in desktop grid would in my opinion have no sense, too But why not giving Alt-Tab this option? If you have a lot of windows, preset windows shows them very very small... something like window gallery would be much better in this case.

Which option? You can use Present Windows for Alt-Tab, and you can set Alt-Tab to show all windows or only windows from the current desktop (System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Focus -> Traverse windows on all desktops).
