it is possible to add the possibility to show the switcher on all monitors? Thank you

It would be some work to make sure that the UI of the different instances stays in sync, but definitely something that someone can do.

I tried but couldn't. For the moment I managed to replace "primaryDisplay" with "currentDisplay" but having it on all displays would be great. Could you give me some tips or some articles to read (if you know) about how to succeed?

This extension already draws stuff on all screens in these rows: https://github.com/daniellandau/switcher/blob/master/extension.js#L154-L162 and has separate listeners on them on https://github.com/daniellandau/switcher/blob/master/extension.js#L423-L427.

One would need to draw the switcher in a similar fashion multiple times and connect event handlers multiple times and add some synchronization logic to keep the different instances in sync.

Hi and thank you for having made this great extension!

I just wanted to show my support for this issue, I would also enjoy having the switcher appearing on all monitors.

Thanks also for the list of resources in the readme, that's so great to help to get us started. I will have a look and see what I can do.
