Can we prevent alt-tab from switching workspaces in Gnome 3? I'd prefer that when switch apps with alt-tab, it will switch to the last used window of that app in the current workspace (it may be minimized, in which case it unminimizes it).

Simply run this command from a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only true
With newer versions of Gnome, this is a configurable setting so installing additional software is no longer necessary.
