Ctrl+W popup won't close if you click on an application

[kirjorjos]

The Ctrl+w popup closes fine if you click on a workspace and click on the desktop at the back, but if you click on an application, it doesn't close.

Same exactly. It's very strange.

So to activate exit from ws switcher you should use following:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/ set org.gnome.shell.extensions.wsmatrix-keybindings workspace-overview-confirm "['<Super>w']"

Note. There is inaccuracy in the doc: https://github.com/mzur/gnome-shell-wsmatrix/wiki/Custom-keyboard-shortcuts

that:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/ \
   set org.gnome.shell.extensions.wsmatrix-keybindings <shortcut-name> ['<Shift><Super>o']

does the job. This command returns, error:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/    set org.gnome.shell.extensions.wsmatrix-keybindings workspace-overview-confirm ['<Super>w']
expected value:
  [<Super>w]
    ^     

Need to fix documentation, like so:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/schemas/ \
   set org.gnome.shell.extensions.wsmatrix-keybindings <shortcut-name> "['<Shift><Super>o']"

Normal cmd should contain double quotes "['<Shift><Super>o']"

But unfortunately thats seems not work, as described by @kirjorjos

Thanks @vskubriev, I have fixed the wiki.

@kirjorjos I can confirm this issue and will classify it as a bug. I usually navigate the Ctrl+w popup with the arrow keys and enter because I mostly use it when I only have one hand available so I didn't notice this before.

Yep, clicking on an app doesn't close the popup, moreover you can drag the app but not drop it.
Is it a WIP or broken feature? Maybe related to #200?

[mzur]

Window drag and drop is tracked in #60.
