gnome-shell now provides its own traditional window switcher using
a dedicated keybinding, so update the extension to just take over
the default application-based switchers as well.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689724
Kill the mode switch distinction, and kill the old and unmaintained
Workspace&Icons mode.
Introduce instead configurability for the All&Thumbnails code, which
now independently allows choosing if only all windows or only those
from current workspace should be shown, and in which way (thumbnail,
icon, both).
All configuration settings changed, so the extension must be configured
again (although hopefully I chose reasonable defaults)
Split the two modes in two different modules, for easier maintenance.
Refactor the AllThumbnails code completely, by copying relevant
or useful code for gnome-shell directly instead of hacking around
it.
Since 3.3.5, gnome-shell offers an integrated configuration tool
for extensions, which can be used by adding a new "prefs" module.
Replace the old modal dialog with a new gtk dialog, which also allows
to configure the new highlight-selected setting.
Mode selection was cleaned up, settings dialog was moved to a
separate file (in preparation for GTK replacement), all classes
were moved to Lang.Class. No big code changes though.
Introduce a common settings.mk file, which is included in extensions
that need GSettings, to ensure that conventions are respected, and
necessary fixes can be applied from one place.
Now, typing "make zip-file" will create a standard zip-file for each
extension, with everything necessary, including translations and GSettings schemas.
These files can then be installed with the tweak-tool or uploaded
at extensions.gnome.org
Based on an earlier patch by Jasper St. Pierre.
Now alternate-tab shows a dialog on first usage, allowing to choose
between native behavior (app icons from all worskpaces), app icons
from current workspace only and window thumbnails only.
Patch written by Joachim Bargsten <dev@bargsten.org>
A new extension, originally developed by Thomas Bouffon,
allows to use classic AltTab (window based instead of app based)
in GNOME Shell.
Tested with 2.91.5
