Only one will survive

Ever been lost in a sea of windows on your screen? No? Well, I have.

This extension is the solution to that problem — it keeps only the active window visible and minimizes all the rest.

Installation

1. Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/bvbxbv/only-one-will-survive.git \
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/only-one-will-survive@bvbxbv

2. Compile GSettings Schema

glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/only-one-will-survive@bvbxbv/schemas

3. Enable extension

gnome-extensions enable only-one-will-survive@bvbxbv

4. Press ALT+F2 -> type R -> press Enter (or log out, or power off your pc. Whatever)

Usage

After you enable this extension, you will see only active window. All inactive window will be minimized.

Settings

• ignore list (gnome extensions -> only one will survive -> options) - put here title of window which you don't want to be minimized.

Compatibility

• For sure working on pop os 22.04 with GNOME 42.9.
• Still have problems with glava. I don't know what to do with that
