# GNOME Shell Extensions
GNOME Shell Extensions is a collection of extensions providing additional
and optional functionality to GNOME Shell.
Since GNOME Shell is not API stable, extensions work only against a very
specific version of the shell, usually the same as this package (see
"configure --version"). The extensions in this package are supported by GNOME
and will be updated to reflect future API changes in GNOME Shell.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME [bug tracking system][bug-tracker].
## Extensions
* alternate-tab (**OBSOLETE**)
Lets you use classic Alt+Tab (window-based instead of app-based) in GNOME Shell.
This extension is obsolete since GNOME 3.30, see [this blogpost][alternatetab-post]
for further details.
* apps-menu
Lets you reach an application using gnome 2.x style menu on the panel.
* auto-move-windows
Lets you manage your workspaces more easily, assigning a specific workspace to
each application as soon as it creates a window, in a manner configurable with a
GSettings key.
* drive-menu
Shows a status menu for rapid unmount and power off of external storage devices
(i.e. pendrives)
* launch-new-instance
Changes application icons to always launch a new instance when activated.
* native-window-placement
An alternative algorithm for layouting the thumbnails in the windows overview, that
more closely reflects the actual positions and sizes.
* places-menu
Shows a status Indicator for navigating to Places.
* screenshot-window-sizer
Adds a shortcut for resizing the focus window to a size that is suitable for GNOME Software screenshots. Ctrl + Alt + s cycles forwards through the available sizes and Ctrl + Alt + Shift + s cycles backwards.
* user-theme
Loads a shell theme from ~/.themes/<name>/gnome-shell.
* window-list
Adds a bottom panel with a traditional window list.
* windowsNavigator
Allow keyboard selection of windows and workspaces in overlay mode.
* workspace-indicator
Adds a simple workspace switcher to the top bar.
