Fildem VS kinto

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.

If you like macOS keyboard shortcuts, I recommend you checkout Kinto go Windows and Linux. On Windows, Kinto used AHK

https://kinto.sh

However, at least when I set it up Kinto did not provide switching windows I’m this fashion. Here is the script I use.

```

    ; BRING FORWARD ALL WINDOWS OF THE CURRENT APPLICATION

The project was based on another project that's been around for a few years called Kinto, by Ben Reaves, which notably also has a Windows version (https://kinto.sh) using AutoHotkey. But has no Wayland support (at this time) in its Linux version.

Toshy is based on Kinto.sh, by Ben Reaves (https://kinto.sh or https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto). Kinto is basically an extensive keymapper config that not only shifts modifier keys appropriately for different keyboard types, but has full keymaps for a number of different apps like VSCode. My variant of Kinto adds some features and utilities for managing the services that make it work, and tools like a script to change the function keys mode of any keyboard that uses hid_apple. That means MacBook keyboards mostly, but also some non-Apple keyboards with media keys apparently use that driver module.

I don’t know if you can activate it via a keyboard shortcut, but I use Kinto.sh to swap keys on my MacBooks.

Hello, there's an open issue about this in their repo: https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/issues/772

There is a setting in keyboard preferences for that.However if you can get yourself used to macOS shortcuts I highly recommend doing so as they seem to be superior especially if you are a programmer and use the terminal a lot, as on macOS you can simply use Command+C to copy from a terminal and Ctrl+C still works for sending SIGINT. Also Command+, will open preferences for almost every application on macOS. Shortcuts on macOS are very consistent across many apps unlike on Linux or Windows. After you get your Linux laptop back you can continue using these shortcuts thanks to a tool called kinto.sh.

Tangential: I'm currently looking for a way to map Mac-style shortcuts on Linux (e. g. Meta + C/V for copy / paste). The only thing I know is https://kinto.sh/, but it looks a bit too janky to my taste. Any other ideas?

And nothing about installing my https://kinto.sh app?
