# GNOME Shell Extensions

GNOME Shell Extensions is a collection of extensions providing additional

and optional functionality to GNOME Shell.

Since GNOME Shell is not API stable, extensions work only against a very

specific version of the shell, usually the same as this package (see

"configure --version"). The extensions in this package are supported by GNOME

and will be updated to reflect future API changes in GNOME Shell.

The GNOME wiki has more information about [GNOME Shell Extensions][project-page],

as well as some general information about [GNOME Shell][shell-page].

Bugs should be reported to the GNOME [bug tracking system][bug-tracker].

## Extensions

 * alternate-tab (**OBSOLETE**)

     Lets you use classic Alt+Tab (window-based instead of app-based) in GNOME Shell.

     This extension is obsolete since GNOME 3.30, see [this blogpost][alternatetab-post]

     for further details.

 * apps-menu

     Lets you reach an application using gnome 2.x style menu on the panel.

each application as soon as it creates a window, in a manner configurable with a

GSettings key.

 * drive-menu

  (i.e. pendrives)

 * launch-new-instance
