Hi, I'm trying to write an extension that will toggle the overview whenever mouse button 9 is clicked, but I can't figure out how to detect clicks from arbitrary locations on the screen.
global.stage's button-press-event will fire when you click the mouse anywhere within the overview, but when the overview is hidden, only clicks on the panel will cause button-press-event to fire. My current code follows: const Main = imports.ui.main; const Lang = imports.lang; function init() { } function enable() { global.stage.connect('button-press-event', Lang.bind(this, function(actor, event) { if (event.get_button() == 9) this._toggleOverview(); })); } function disable() { } function _toggleOverview() { if (Main.overview.visible) Main.overview.hide(); else Main.overview.show(); } - Kerrick _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
