Show Window switcher when switching between windows using horizontal swipes

Open sidevesh opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

This is the behavior similar to how Windows does horizontal switch window gesture or how gnome-gesture-improvements implemented it.

I have try it with some failure, but still trying to implement it.

Currently you can try switching window config, but it was different than alt+tab-ing.

The main problem is when switch indicator shown, extension no longer able to retrieve the swipe events, so it stuck in indicator until I press ESC or click the indicator.

Will try & read more gjs manuals for implementing it.

Not yet know well about gshell. Only have messing around with it in this week.

Actually, while the added animation is great, it is not what I was referring to. I am referring to this: https://youtu.be/dTLzx4xDFqw?si=fshSiCzKIzLCSeLM&t=124

Notice how at 2:07 mark the window switcher shows up on swiping horizontally on touchpad.

Firstly this extension don't have any relation with gesture improvement, not a fork or any code / workaround taken from it.

Current implementation is due to how this extension handles the gesture, and how I feel naturally gestures work {1 gesture per action}.

But I can implement what you requested in a different action name (maybe window switcher, because I am more comfortable with the current implementation 😁) with some modification on how gestures are handled.

-- But I feel so happy with all feedbacks

FWIW, this is exactly the functionality I'm hoping can be migrated over as well... Thank you for your work on this project.
