Disable workspace grid popup

[cjkr]

Is there any way to completely disable the workspace grid popup such that switching through workspaces does not raise it?

I have unsuccessfully tried using extensions that disable the workspace switcher popup.

Not in preferences, we will need to modify the code base to have such option. Maybe disable it if time to show the popup is -1?

I think you just need to add a condition here, in your case probably if you just add a return, it will work try it out and let me know how it goes, maybe you can open a PR to perform this return if the popup timeout is et to -1

 _showWorkspaceSwitcherPopup(toggle) { 
     if (!toggle) {   // && this.settings.get_int('popup-timeout') < 0
         return; 
     } 

     if (Main.overview.visible) { 
         return; 
     } 

     if (toggle) { 
         this._addWorkspaceOverviewKeybindings(); 
     }

I wondered, why -1 and not simply at 0 ms? To me 0 ms of visibility would mean the same as 'don't open'. And more practically, the current preferences input of this plugin does support a 0, but not negative numbers. Later I browsed through the releases and saw that there is mention of the 0ms enabling the popup to stay visible as long as ctrl+alt is held.

So to avoid clashing with that somewhat hidden feature, I added the option to disable the popup from the settings. I've attached #241 with my changes.
