Works for me on M1 Macbook Air 12.3 Monterey. No fix was needed.

Alas, not working for me on a M1 Max MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.0.1 - anyone else managed to get this working on Ventura?

defaults write com.apple.dock appswitcher-all-displays -bool true && killall Dock – works for me on Monterey

Make sure that dock in com.apple.dock is LOWERCASE – it didn't work for me with uppercase – probably because my file system is case sensitive.

Lowercase dock from this message finally worked for me on Ventura (Following 1+ years).

Thanks, lowercase dock worked for me too! This is the exact command I used:

defaults write com.apple.dock appswitcher-all-displays -bool true; killall Dock;

macOS 13.3.1, M1 Max.

thanks so much for everyone involved in the solution, very much appreciated

Maybe the dock in com.apple.dock should be lowercase

defaults write com.apple.dock appswitcher-all-displays -bool true
killall Dock
