cizra / disable-workspace-switcher-popup Goto Github PK

This is my first GNOME 3 shell extension. I created this because I saw no way to disable the huge popup displayed dead center of the screen when switching between workspaces, other than editing /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/workspaceSwitcherPopup.js and setting the value of DISPLAY_TIMEOUT to zero.

From the GNOME Extensions Page:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/959/disable-workspace-switcher-popup/

From the Command-line:

Create a folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions called [email protected] and move extension.js and metadata.json into that folder:

# mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions 2>/dev/null
# git clone git://github.com/windsorschmidt/disable-workspace-switcher-popup \
  ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

From Zip Archive:

Download extension.zip above.

Using GNOME Tweak Tool, click the box near "Install Shell Extension" and select the downloaded file.

Restart the GNOME Shell with the key sequence: Alt-F2 + "r" then ENTER.

Using GNOME Tweak Tool, navigate to the Shell Extensions pane and enable the plugin by clicking the switch widget:

Note: You may need to restart GNOME Tweak Tool and/or re-log in to your session in order for the extension to appear in the list of installed extensions.

Thanks to users for suggesting changes and poking me for version updates.
