Disable Window Switcher Popup

This is my first GNOME 3 shell extension. I created this because I saw no way to disable the huge popup displayed dead center of the screen when switching between workspaces, other than editing /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/workspaceSwitcherPopup.js and setting the value of DISPLAY_TIMEOUT to zero.

Installation:

From the GNOME Extensions Page:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/959/disable-workspace-switcher-popup/

From the Command-line:

curl -sL https://github.com/windsorschmidt/disable-workspace-switcher-popup/tarball/master |
  tar xzv --wildcards --strip 1 --directory ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ \
  "*/disable-workspace-switcher-popup@github.com"

From Arch Linux User Repository (AUR)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-disable-workspace-switcher-popup-git

Enabling the Extension:

Restart the GNOME Shell with the key sequence: Alt-F2 + "r" then ENTER.

Using GNOME Tweak Tool, navigate to the Shell Extensions pane and enable the plugin by clicking the switch widget:

Note: You may need to restart GNOME Tweak Tool and/or re-log in to your session in order for the extension to appear in the list of installed extensions.
