If you by some reason need run this awesome extension on ancient Gnome 3.20, e.g. on Ubuntu 16.04, please use the following instructions:

0) Go to your user local extension directory: $ cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

1) Remove the extension if it exists: $ rm -rf ./gnome-shell-go-to-last-workspace@github.com/

2) Clone source code: $ git clone https://github.com/arjan/gnome-shell-go-to-last-workspace.git

3) Rename the cloned repo to correspond the extension UUID: $ mv gnome-shell-go-to-last-workspace gnome-shell-go-to-last-workspace@github.com

4) Pick an old working revision: $ git checkout 6c82ffa82b869e6a97928709788f9a68b38369fa

5) Set the default hotkey: $ gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gnome-shell-go-to-last-workspace@github.com/schemas set org.gnome.shell.extensions.go-to-last-workspace shortcut-key "['<Super>escape']"

6) Restart Gnome Shell: Press Alt+F2, then type r and press enter key

Done! Hooray!


@arjan,

1) could you please add it to a wiki (you need to create it first) of this Github repo? Or, 2) I can make a PR w/ changes to README if that works.

What do you think which variant (1) or 2)) is better?

Added this to the readme, thanks!
