I could not get this working on an M1 MacBook pro 12.4 Monterey, even with a restart. @sanp's fix worked for me. Thank you!

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).

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