Add Gnome 3.8 support

[matejak]

Shellshape claims that it is not compatible with Gnome 3.8, which is out for a while already, so it would be cool to have Shellshape available for it.

I don't have 3.8 yet, any volunteers to test it?

If we're lucky, all that's needed is to update shellshape/metadata.json.

[matejak]

Let's say that I am the volunteer. I have tried the 0launch method you describe in the README, and I got a "problem" with the gnome-shell, I guess that is because of the version number.

Chosen implementations:
  Failed to select all required implementations

  Interface: http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/gnome-shell.xml
    No implementation selected (best was package:arch:gnome-shell:3.8.1-1:x86_64, but: None)

[timbertson]

Good point (and thanks for volunteering!).

I've committed changes to a new branch (3.8) to allow you to run it on 3.8 - if you do git fetch && git checkout origin/3.8 it should let you run it: https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/tree/3.8

The change is pretty simple, you could just do it yourself if you prefer: https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/commit/fa6231a0e63099ce2b0a2efa75d86361a5a488ec

I've been using it with gnome 3.8 (from the gnome-team ppa) on Ubuntu 13.04 and everything but the keyboard shortcuts still works. Not sure if this is a problem with 3.8 itself or just ubuntu's packages for it.

I'm testing it with GNOME 3.8, too, also from the gnome-team ppa on Ubuntu 13.04, and I can confirm that it seems to work, although the keyboard shortcuts are broken.

[matejak]

I experience the same behavior - no keyboard shortcuts work. The Super key has emerged in 3.8 as a part of system keyboard shortcuts, so there certainly was a change under the hood involved: https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/shortcuts.html.en

[offlineric]

I'd just like to add that changing the shortcuts with dconf-editor to use a different modifier key does not resolve the issue for me.

[timbertson]

OK, finally added code for the new keybindings API in 3.8, and pushed version 0.6 (via 0install and extensions.gnome.org, which might take a day or so to appear). Tested on a VM, the keybindings are now working fine.

[matejak]

I just point out that I still can't see shellshape appearing on extensions.gnome.org.

[timbertson]

Yeah, it seems to be taking a while stuck in review. I've poked the gnome-shell mailing list just in case their notifications are broken again.

I installed shellshape just yesterday via extensions.gnome.org. I am using Gnome 3.8.3-2 on Arch Linux.
