1. What's the reason for not sending the code to the original extension? 2. You need to mention in the description that this extension is a fork of the other extension: [EGO Review Guidelines: Fork](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#metadata-json-must-be-well-formed) 3. Please use `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()` so it is easier to track for cleanup (`extension.js` only). If you need any help with your extension you can ask us on: - [GNOME Extensions Matrix Channel](https://matrix.to/#/#extensions:gnome.org) - IRC Bridge: irc://irc.gimpnet.org/shell-extensions

Thanks for taking a look! 1. I tried contributing upstream first through PR #15 and PR #23, but I think Pedro simply has less time to work on the project these days. I really enjoy this extension and did not want to see it fade away, especially now that GNOME 50 has been available for nearly four months without a compatible release. I created this fork to keep it available and working for the community! 2. I added a note to the description saying that Foresight Reborn is a fork of Foresight. 3. I changed the signal handling in extension.js to use connectObject() and disconnectObject(). I have uploaded a new version with these changes. Let me know if I missed anything!
