1 | # Non-Blocking Switcher |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | This extension works around a bug in the Gnome Shell window switcher | |
| 4 | (`cycle-windows` & `cycle-windows-backward` -- bound to `<Super>Esc` by default) | |
| 5 | where other keystrokes are blocked while the modifier key is held down. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | This allows you to | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | 1. Press and hold `<Super>` | |
| 10 | 2. Press `Esc` to begin a window switch. | |
| 11 | 3. Press `1` to change your mind about the window switch and jump to workspace 1 (`<Super>1`) | |
| 12 | 4. Release `<Super>` | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | Without this extension, you must release and re-press `<Super>` between steps 2 and 3. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | This extension works by immediately ending the application-switch as soon as it has started. | |
| 17 | *This means that you can only ever switch to the first other-window in the tab list!* | |
| 18 | The default tab list order is most-recently-used, so by default ***you can only switch | |
| 19 | between two windows!*** Thus, it is highly recommended to use the [Round Robin Tab Order | |
| 20 | extension](https://scottworley.com/git/roundrobintaborder) with this extension so that | |
| 21 | all windows are reachable. |
