Description
Currently, the tiling popup shows windows from all monitors. This is not practical with multimonitor setup. I would like to have an option to only see windows that are positioned on the active monitor. So that e.g. when tiling 3 windows I can just select my favorite layout and press enter 3 times (without selecting the particular windows).
This should probably be easy to implement.

Research direction
Start by locating the tiling popup implementation and the code that gathers windows for it. Trace how the active monitor is identified, then add an option that limits the popup to windows on that monitor and verify that multimonitor tiling can select layouts without choosing individual windows.
