[Destroy666x]

Are you going to fix this (and possibly other ES6 errors) in the near future so that this useful extension works on Ubuntu 19.04?

[askmrsinh]

Yes, I do intend to fix these (#35, #34) issues.
The upstream changes provide a good opportunity for at least a partial rewrite of the extension while dropping support for older gnome-shell versions. I also want to adopt some good practices like linting and setting up build configuration for the project. I haven't yet started making the changes but hope to do so in the coming month.

Until then, you can use the unstable-3.32 branch if you wish to. (these issues have been fixed, please use the master branch)

@Destroy666x Please check if the current master works for you. Let me know in case of any issues.

@user501254 I can confirm the latest code works on gnome-shell 3.32.

@mauriziopinotti
Thanks! There are still a couple of things that are stopping me from uploading the new version on the GNOME Shell Extensions website (eg: extension will crash if there are no detectable input devices). Once I have them sorted out, I will update with a new release.

Fixed under v33.
