Review of "Quick Lang Switch" version 8

Details Page Preview

Quickly switch keyboard language layout without showing the switcher popup. The language switcher popup by default takes ~0.7sec to appear, meaning that roughly 2-4 strokes are lost till the switch completes. This affects heavily users typing languages with non-latin based alphabets (e.g. Greek, Cyrilic, Arabic, Japanese), particularly when writting technical documents. This extension reduces the switching time to 1/10th of a second (on a 2019 PC). It fixes also focus issues with the active window.

Please use `console.log()`, `console.warning()`, ... instead of `log()`: https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#no-excessive-logging

@JustPerfection Is it possible to make a new release without bumping the version in metadata? (so as not to update the changelog and the release pfage in GitHub)
JustPerfection posted a review
No, version is auto increment. No need to send the changes for log soon. You can send it when your next version is ready. Btw, we have an open issue about it here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/extensions-web/-/issues/169

Thank you for the link, indeed useful feature. One last question, is there some forum to ask questions about gnome-shell?
JustPerfection posted a review
You can ask directly from GNOME Shell developers on GNOME Shell Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#gnome-shell:gnome.org or ask on extensions Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#extensions:gnome.org or Discourse: https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/extensions
