Fildem VS gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect

What you are looking for is called Global Menu. AFAIK is not supported on GNOME. There was an extension: Fidem but I'm not sure if it works nowadays.

LINK to Fildem Global Menu

Fildem is not maintained ATM. Installation might still work though https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/11xwqux/global_menu/ + https://github.com/gonzaarcr/Fildem/issues/166

Oh right, I remember that feature from Unity!

Apparently Fildem is a spiritual successor for Gnome.

So, any solution for that, please? I saw this guy saying on the repo that it got it working on Fedora 35, with these same packages, so are not there any solutions for it to work on 36?

Yes i did just get the fildem_0.6.7_all.deb file from gitub latest release and change in the extension ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json under shell-version add 42. Than follow the instructions in the README.md

Did you try Fildem to have global menu?

Oh man, please have a look at this at least fildem

The git repo for that extension has a commit called "Added gnome 42 compatibility" that just adds "42" to the list of supported versions in the metadata.json.

I mean.... yeah! Thats exactly what you should be doing. Upgrading your OS when not all your essential software is supported is bad practice to begin with and most non-rolling Distro support previous version for a bit (Fedora 38 will be supported for 6 months after the release of 39 for example). The extension manager app has a great "upgrade assistant" that lets you easily see which of your extension was already ported. Most extensions were already ported and the rest will probably follow shortly after Gnome 45 hits major distros. GSconnect already merged a PR so their release will be soon.

https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/tag/v55 does not mention security fixes. Do you have more information?

I'm using GSConnect on Ubuntu. I have first disabled "Clipboard Sync". There are a number of Actions for which keyboard shortcuts can be defined for a device [1]. One of them is Clipboard Push. I assigned Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V to that, so whenever I execute that contrived key combination, the clipboard is synced to my mobile. I suppose KDE Connect has a similar feature.
