Conflict with Pop-shell about advanced-alttab-window-switcher

[FlyinPancake]

The issue went away thanks 😄

OFF: Can I set a separate keybinding to open AATWS in search mode? (to replace pop-shell run window)

Hi. First we need to find out if the switcher is actually called from the Shell. When you have the Pop Shell enabled and AATWS disabled, the problem goes away too?

[FlyinPancake]

Yes if I have pop-shell disabled AATWS works reliably but when I have it turned on it rarely works. I'll pull up a VM and see if the problem still occurs on a fresh fedora install

[FlyinPancake]

Just did that, and installing gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell from dnf and AATWS from the gnome extensions site did result in the same conflict. 😞

I'd be happy to help any way possible 😄

Well, I did a quick review of the Pop Shell source code and found that the extension modifies the core function of both window and app switchers. So when AATWS is enabled before the Pop Shell, the problem emerges. I'll workaround this.

I'll let you know when the code is ready and you can test it before I'll send it to e.g.o.

[FlyinPancake]

Thanks for the advice, and the quick replies! I'll be fine living w/o pop-shell for some time :) Edit: removed e-mail artifacts

[G-dH]

Done. You can download the code from the repository and unpack the new files to your extension directory

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

Then restart the Shell.

This update includes an App switcher in addition to the Window switcher, you can use system shortcuts including Alt+;/~ for switching windows of focused application, and you can switch between those modes using Ctrl+;/~. Check README.MD on the code page.

You can set in the AATWS preferences the Search mode as default..

Thanks gonna try out :)

[FlyinPancake]

And I'll close the issue since it's fixed

[G-dH]

One more thing - I now updated the code so the next release from e.g.o site will update the extension automatically, and removed debug prints. Download the code once again and replace the files. Thanks for testing.

Btw, with the Custom Hot Corners - Extended extension you can trigger the switcher with different settings using a mouse or custom keyboard shortcuts and you can use the App switcher popup as a Dock launcher with app search (with repository version of CHC-E).

For example, I set the CHC-E to left bottom edge of my monitor triggers the window switcher and the right bottom edge triggers the App switcher with favorite apps.

[FlyinPancake]

In essence this is what i'm looking for, just with KB shortcuts.

[G-dH]

No problem, CHC-E is an universal trigger. AATWS was actually born as a part of this extension :)
