disable-workspace-switcher-popup's Issues

Can't install it from extensions.gnome.org

Hello,

The installation doesn't seem to work from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/959/disable-workspace-switcher-popup/. I only can install it manually as explained in README.md and with a logout/login (restarting gnome-shell is not enough) to make the extension appear in gnome-tweak-tool to enable it.

Do you think you can fix it ?

Thank you !

Not sure if you are aware but this does not work at all on Gnome 3.26

Wayland session if it matters.

Request for commit (push) access.

Hi, @windsorschmidt. If you'd be willing to give me push access to this repository, that would enable me to merge routine GNOME Shell version number updates directly.

The advantage for the project would be slightly faster updates. The advantage for you would be less work :-). The advantage for me would be reduced branch-management overhead across my various machines -- currently, when I dist-upgrade them, I often have to set them to temporarily track my latest gnome upgrade branch instead of your upstream master branch, until upstream catches up with whatever version of gnome-shell arrived in the upgrade. This means I'm constantly switching branches, which just adds some overhead to my OS upgrade process.

If you'd prefer not to, that's fine; I'm happy to continue submitting PRs and waiting for them to be merged too.

don't work (Fedora 25) - can't see this extension in tweak tool

I tried to install it this extension from here https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/959/disable-workspace-switcher-popup/, it didn't work. Then I tried to install it manually - the same result, it doesn't work and I can't even see it in tweak tool

How to just move the popup instead of disabling it?

I searched and tried for hours now, but don't have much knowledge in js.
I managed to change the size, the color, transparency etc (based on this link) but I also would like to move the whole popup to the right.
I tried things like x = 50; WorkspaceSwitcherPopup.set_align and also tried a whole bunch of things which I combined from different sources and extensions.
I am using GNOME 3.30.2, Debian 10 (Buster) if that's important.

I don't need you to code it, but a hint (like a variable I have to set or what component I have to use) or a tutorial/reference would be great!

I hope you can help.
Thank you!

PS: You can see a picture describing what I mean in the 3rd comment here.

Extension not working as of GNOME 42.0.

Hi, @windsorschmidt. I upgraded recently and Debian testing distro brought in GNOME 42.0...

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 42.0
$ 

...so naturally I updated this extension locally in the usual way:

index 6bcee3f..8f897cf 100644

     ],
     "uuid": "[email protected]",
     "name": "Disable Workspace Switcher Popup",

However, the extension is having no effect. I can see in gnome-extensions-app that the extension is turned on, as expected. But I still get a workspace switcher popup.

I asked about this over in GNOME Discourse, because the visual appearance and location of the popup have changed a bit, and Florian Müllner confirmed that even though the appearance and location have changed, the same code should still work to suppress the popup.

Do you have any idea what's causing the extension to suddenly not work? For all I know this might even be a GNOME bug, or maybe there's some new compatibility shim we need to place in the extension code (like the "// Backwards compatability with 3.0.2" shim you already have in extension.js), but I'm not even sure how to start debugging this.

Extension not being listed for some gnome-shell versions

This extension is not listed for me on the website and it's probably something related to my gnome-shell version, somehow the extensions website thinks it's not supported by 3.18...

Perhaps you can set a supported version range in the extension metadata?!

Possible to disable brightness/volume change OSD popup

Hi,

Is it possible to also disable the popup OSD when changing the brightness/volume or mute volume in Gnome with your extension? I am on Gnome 3.22.2 (Fedora 25) and I find those popups very annoying.

Maybe an option to choose to enable/disable workspace popup, enable/disable brightness change and enable/disable volume change including volume mute/unmute?

Love your extension btw. Would be awesome if the above feature can be implemented. I can test it if needed.

Version on extensions.gnome.org is out of date

It seems that only lists up to 3.24.1:

While the version on github supports a lot more versions. Did you stop uploading, or did something go wrong there? Or am I misunderstanding the output of e.g.o? I'm running gnome-shell 40, and the extension is listed as "outdated" for me by e.g.o.

Support for GNOME 40

This extension is not compatible with GNOME 40 on Fedora 34. Any plans for adding support for GNOME 40?

Disable the animation, too?

Hi,

I installed this amazing plugin today, and it worked, thanks!

Just one more thing, is it possible to disable the switching animation too? For someone who constantly switches between different workspaces, the switching animation is pretty annoying.

Update

Please update to work with 3.12

Thanks in advance.

Minor inaccuracy in repository description.

Great extension, thank you!

In the description of the repository, you might want to change "window" to "workspace". That is, change

Disables the arrow popup displayed during window switching in Gnome Shell 3.

to

Disables the arrow popup displayed during workspace switching in Gnome Shell 3.

It might make this extension slightly easier to find, since it's really about workspaces not windows. (I can't submit a PR for this, as it's in the GitHub repository metadata.)

No dynamic workspaces when this extension is active

I am using GNOME 3.28.2. This extension successfully disables the popup. However, it breaks the dynamic workspaces in GNOME. I can only use 2 workpsaces.

Add a new Gnome shell version

Stopped working for me, presumably because:
[user@localhost ~]$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.20.4
...which wasn't listed in metadata.json, so I added a line to metadata.json and restarted gnome-shell, which seemed to fix it. Is there a way to future-proof this? Or you just have to update every time gnome-shell updates?

gnome-shell 3.25.4 does not open tweaks tool with this extension

If this extension is in your extensions folder, tweaks tool fails to open.

custom timeout

Do you have any idea how to set specific timeout?

This should be on the official extensions site

A great extension, but I can't find it on extensions.gnome.org. Is there any plan to put it there?
