Description
Replaces the original workspace indicator with numbers (optional) and window icons. Also moves the clock to the right to free up space if needed.
Replaces the original workspace indicator with numbers (optional) and window icons. Also moves the clock to the right to free up space if needed.
FEATURES:
- Allows you to see everything you have opened in a glance and switch between apps and workspaces.
- App icons within workspaces are always ordered by most recent (same order as Alt+Tab switch windows).
- Very efficient: Instead of constantly recalculating everything, this extension exclusively detects small changes (window opened, closed, moved etc.) one at a time, and updates only the affected sub-part of the UI.
ACTIONS (default):
- Scroll anywhere on the buttons switches workspace (same as original workspaces indicator, minus the delay)
- Left click switches to whichever workspace was clicked
- Middle click toggles overview for whichever workspace was clicked.
- Right click opens the window switcher for whichever workspace was clicked. Ways to navgiate: --- Mouse only: ------ Double right-click to switch back and forth between the two most recent apps. ------ Scroll to select the window you want (click anywhere outside the popup to close it) ------ Click the window you want from within the popup. --- Keyboard only: ------ Use left and right arrow keys or the regular Alt+Tab/Alt+Shift+Tab keys (Enter or Escape to exit).
NEWEST UPDATE:
- For each monitor a new panel is created and the windows are basically per workspace and per monitor
- Alt+Tab Window switcher popup appears on the currently focused monitor and only shows the windows for the current monitor-workspace
- More settings added, including the ability to desaturate the icons
- Works with dynamic workspaces, fixed workspaces, workspaces only on primary and workspaces on all monitors
- Ability to hide the workspace numbers (conserving space).
BUGS:
- Switching between the GNOME settings "workspaces only on primary" and "workspaces on all monitors" causes duplicate windows in the side monitors (and therefore errors). --- Solution: Until I fix this, manually restart the extension or GNOME shell after switching between those GNOME settings.
FEATURES TO COME:
- Window buttons: There will be optional (clickable) window buttons (with titles) you can turn on beside the workspace buttons (separate for each monitor-workspace) (helps with having multiple instances of the same app on one workspace - to differentiate)
- Drag workspace buttons: As title suggests - ability to move each workspace anywhere you want by dragging it
- Topbar options: height, color, transparency, space between indicator/status icons (to free up more space) etc.
