Apparently there is a TypeScript and LSP section on GJS Guide with working (!) instructions to setup @girs/* types, so Focus Mode is now fully in TS, and Snowy will likely be rewritten too

Considering that debugging process is kinda crappy (each time you do any minor change you have to run a nested shell and sometimes wait about 15s to start apps in it), this boosts development pretty much working as docs & catching typos and simple errors

Another great thing I started using is Looking Glass (lg opened via «Run» menu by F2) which allows reverse-engineering and fast testing on current shell which is often needed because there are no docs for gnome shell API (and it's changing a little each GNOME update)

👩‍💻 🤝 🦶

P.S. I think I'll make a minimal TS template for extensions since I didn't find one minimal & good enough, with basic README about how things should be done here

#TIL if you hold Shift while switching workspace in GNOME, it will move active window to the next workspace, which is replacing "separate workspaces on separate monitors" in some way

P.S. Doesn't work if you switch workspaces by scrolling over panel indicator

#TIL Panorama View brings workspaces to Firefox replacing and surpassing chromium tabs

It's persistent and doesn't load everything at once on restart, hides other group's tabs and works as a native feature (seems like it was one before) without window hacks

No way, GNOME will pre-install tray icons extension starting with G47

Thanks for making this optional extension rather than part of shell #backgroundappsmustdie
