I'm new to Mac and have the following wish:
I would like to have one instance of an application (app1) on space1 and another application (app2) on space2. When I pres press CMD-Tab I see every open programs in every space. For example I'm in space1 and press CMD-Tab then I can switch between app1 and app2. But I would like to see only app1 when I'm in space1 and no app2 when I'm in space1.
Is there some setting where I can change this behavior?
Thanks for your help.

I'm afraid you cannot do that, since the Dock (where this menu belongs) cannot be distinctly used on each space.
But, what it might be handy is to disable the option:
"When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" from System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Spaces.
That way, even if you select an application which is not present in the current space, you wont be moved to that space.
After all its just a matter to get used of it. After a while, even you'll be ok with it or you'll just deactivate spaces at all (the latter happened to me).
