Extend [Q]uit feature to "windows-switcher" #5

Closed xalt7x closed 1 year ago

xalt7x commented 1 year ago

I really like ability to close individual windows with "Q" key. However when I switch them with "windows-switcher" (un-grouped windows applications, with previews and workspace isolation) it doesn't work. I need both kind of switchers to get the best of both worlds: 1) "applications-switcher" (Super+Tab) lets me quickly walk through applications on different workspaces 2) "windows-switcher" (default on Ubuntu) lets me switch between windows on a current workspace. Also it's workspace isolation doesn't affect "Dash to Dock" (which currently follows settings of "applications-switcher" workspace isolation)

While looking at the extension code, I've found that "F4" works as well. However unlike "Q" user always needs to explicitly select specific window, even if an application has a single window (which is absolutely no issue for the "windows-switcher"). It's a nearly perfect replacement which works even for the original GNOME! Also workaround for the gnome-shell bug #193.
