[FEATURE] Show bottom dash on all displays

[alirezaimi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. NO.

Describe the solution you'd like Showing bottom dash menu on all monitors.

[G-dH]

AATWS can pop up on any monitor and can be moved between them using hotkeys. Also the hot edge trigger can be set for all monitors. But if you want AATWS showing on all monitors at once, that will not be possible.

[alirezaimi]

Thanks , but when i'm using virtualbox machine and focus inside it nothing from outside of that machine can access .

Something like this option in dash to dock ext:

[G-dH]

VBox machine grabs all input events when focused, AATWS needs to do the same to work. You can press and release right Ctrl key (default VBox hotkey) to release the input and allow AATWS to pop up. The hot edge trigger works but I need to find a usable way to temporarily steal the input from the VBox.

[alirezaimi]

I'm talking about bottom menu that appear with mouse hover to bottom of screen . something like dash to dock that i send to you .

[G-dH]

I know and I have explained to you why the AATWS won't show up in this situation. AATWS needs the input, unlike a dock. I will find a way around this.

[alirezaimi]

Thanks alot !

[G-dH]

@alirezaimi Can you please try the current github version and tell me if it helped?

git clone https://github.com/G-dH/advanced-alttab-window-switcher.git
cd advanced-alttab-window-switcher/
make install

Don't forget to restart GNOME Shell.

[alirezaimi]

Hi I'm tested it , and when i'm focused in virtual machine hot edge menu not work and not shown at all . Thanks for your support .

And this log when i'm trying :

ct 30 11:31:40 debian gnome-shell[2639]: [advanced-alt-tab@G-dH.github.com] Error: Unable to release input for successful Main.pushModal(), AATWS cannot start.

[G-dH]

Thanks. Interesting, works for me. X11 or Wayland session?

[alirezaimi]

Thank you, I'm using X11 .

[G-dH]

I'm always running my virtual machines in full-screen mode and in that case AATWS with the previously mentioned update shows up even if a vm has focus. However, now I've noticed that if the vm is in windowed mode, AATWS still can't grab the input. GS 42, X11.

[G-dH]

I came up with a workaround, please try to update from GitHub and let me know if that works for you too.

[alirezaimi]

Hi I pull last changes and make install it but :

$ make clean
rm -rf advanced-alt-tab@G-dH.github.com.zip \
       schemas/gschemas.compiled \

$ make install

and after enabling it this error happened :

[G-dH]

Try it again, but clean before the pull.

[alirezaimi]

It's working. In maximized mode and not maximized worked perfectly . Thanks for your support .

[G-dH]

This workaround can crash AATWS in certain situations, leaving it open and bocking input. I'll try to handle the exception.

[G-dH]

That potential crash is also now fixed and the workaround has been simplified. Thanks for pushing me to solve my own inconvenience 👍🏻

[alirezaimi]

Thank you very much for your support .

Hi again I install extension on another debian stable 11 and i got this error and when i hover on menu on bottom of my display it's jumping and i can't choose anything :

keep showing this error :

This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs.

Hi, I can't reproduce this bug on my VBox installation of Sid. Are you sure there is no conflict with another extension?

[alirezaimi]

I disable all other extensions , Better log:

[G-dH]

Did you install the latest github version?

[alirezaimi]

I installed from https://extensions.gnome.org/

[G-dH]

I didn't yet release the latest fix that handles the pop error and simplifies the workaround.

[alirezaimi]

Ok , thanks .
