I don't like that when I press Alt+Tab I see all open apps in all workspaces. How can I see in the Alt+Tab menu and in the launcher only the programs that I am using in that particular workspace? I feel there's no point of using Alt+Tab and the launcher if you have opened lots of programs in different workspaces. Hope you understand, please help. Thank you very much.

You might want to use AlternateTab extension. This extension lets you
Substitute Alt-Tab with a window based switcher that does not group by application.
Also in the extension settings you'll find an option to enable/disable showing windows only from the current workspace.

I don't know how to do this with the default Unity switcher, but you could use one of the other switchers compiz offers: Shift Switcher, Ring Switcher, Application Switcher, Static Application Switcher. They are found under "Window Manager" in ccsm (CompizConfig Settings Manager). You can disable the Alt+Tab binding for the switcher in the "Unity Plugin" in ccsm, and enable one of these switchers and configure their bindings as you wish.
