Incompatible with Gnome Shell 40 #7

Hi, Thank you for this extension, I love it! It's not working with Gnome Shell 40, but simply adding it to the supported versions in metadata.json seem to do the trick just fine :).

It's not working with Gnome Shell 40

Same here. I had to stop using Super+Tab Launcher a few months ago -- as I use Arch Linux, where the default Gnome Shell package is is always the latest version. And I really missed this extension since, as it was a real productivity enhancer.

but simply adding it to the supported versions in metadata.json seem to do the trick just fine :).

Big if true!.. Let me try... And... yes!! It works! Amazing. This is such a basic trick. ;-)

So here are the instructions:

In src/metadata.json, replace the following line:

"shell-version": ["3.22", "3.24", "3.26", "3.28", "3.30"],

with:

"shell-version": ["3.22", "3.24", "3.26", "3.28", "3.30", "40.1.0"]

i.e. just add the last the latest version number to the list of supported versions.

Save; close; install the extension as explained in the README:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make localinstall

Log out; log in.

Bam, it should be working.

Thank you for the extension! & thank you for the trick!

Regards.

@lgvld The current version of the launcher is not compatible with Gnome Shell 45 even when updating metadata.json, so I made a fork that works with GS45 : https://github.com/oxayotl/gnome-shell-extension-alt-tab-launcher
