Remove the thumbnails/popup once keys are releases (rather than after a preset time-allotment) #168

Feature request:

When switching workspaces, allow for the option to remove the popup-grid-thumbnail upon key-release (similar to the default behavior of Alt-Tab, in which the selector remains onscreen until key release). Current behavior of the extension only allows for hardcoding a specific "Time to show the popup".

Not sure if there is a way to enable this functionality already, through another linux config setting(?)

Love the extension!!!

I believe this is implemented in the preliminary GNOME 40 support ( #152 ). If you are using an older version of GNOME, this can't be implemented, sorry.

I already installed the extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/ which placed it at ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de, but when I navigate to that directory, I cannot git checkout gnome-40...

If I have GNOME 40, do I just

(A) follow the development instructions

(or B) uninstall my current version of the extension via https://extensions.gnome.org/ interface and run:

cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/mzur/gnome-shell-wsmatrix.git
cd wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de
 git checkout gnome-40
 makepkg -sri

Thanks the info... Sorry I'm sort of new at this level of development! Appreciate any feedback.

You should follow (A) the development instructions with the additional step of git checkout gnome-40. It's basically what you describe in (B) but with the key differenct that the wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de directory needs to be placed in .../extensions/ and not the whole Git repo. Also the build is done with make but you don't need that unless you change the settings or keybindings schema.
