Restrict Alt+Tab to the current workspace in Gnome 3

Question

Is there a way to tweak Alt+Tab in Gnome 3 so it will iterate windows only in the current workspace?

I'm using Debian wheezy.

This is like asking "How do I activate cheat code in a game?" without specifying the game. — MightyPork, Dec 07 '14 at 15:40

This command also does the trick:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only true

+1 in fact, changing this setting is exactly what the extension does. – GabrielF Jan 23 '16 at 19:58
@GabrielF correct. I don't remember why I left that out actually... – Oebele Jan 25 '16 at 14:38

There's an extension for GNOME Shell which enables this behaviour: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/

This is no longer necessary given that there's now a settings that's configurable. See the other answer. – colan Oct 25 '17 at 15:46
