[Feature Request] Make carousel optional #202

Closed zhanghai closed 1 year ago

(First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining this extension! I didn't want to bother you just to say my thanks, but this has been my first extension to install on my new Linux installations for years and it made my experience much better.)

Back to the issue itself - it seems that the carousel style was enabled in the latest version on GNOME extensions, and as in your latest comment Might make it optional, but for now, it's how it works it seems there's no toggle for the behavior.

While the carousel style avoids the flip upon reaching end of stack, it also eliminates the ability for me to directly "feel" how many windows I have while switching (despite that I may manually count the ones on screen), and made it much harder to "remember" the relative order of the windows because now it seems that I have an infinite number of them. It might feel a bit exaggerating, but the two combined gave me a mild feeling of dizziness when switching my windows.

So will it be possible to add a setting to make carousel optional, and bring back the stack flipping behavior as an alternative?

@zhanghai, Thanks for the feedback! I will make it optional and do another release today.
