-================
+-----------------------
+GNOME shell extension for quickly closing apps in the overview.
-Gnome shell extension for closing apps in overview with a middle (or other) click.
+[![Download from extensions.gnome.org](img/ego.svg)](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/352/middle-click-to-close-in-overview/)
-All credit goes to Paolo Tranquilli (http://cs.unibo.it/~tranquil/en/hacking.html), I've merely
-copied its code here to provide Gnome Shell 3.10+ compatibility
+## Features
-This extension is installable from
-https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/352/middle-click-to-close-in-overview/.
+- **Middle click to close**: Just hover over the app you want to close in the overview, and middle
+ click. The mouse button that will trigger closing can be adjusted in the settings.
+- **`Alt+F4` in the overview**: When triggering the close action (typically `Alt+F4`), the focused
+ window will be closed. This can be turned off in the settings.
+- **Adjustable rearrange delay**: After closing an application, GNOME will wait a bit before
+ rearranging the remaining windows. This extension allows configuring that delay.
-Otherwise you may
+## Building
-* download a [zip](https://github.com/p91paul/middleclickclose/archive/master.zip) of this extension
-* extract it
-* run the following command
- ```
- make install
-```
-* reload gnome-shell (Alt-F2, r, Enter) -> on Wayland you need to log out and log in again, there is no in-place reload
-* activate it through the Gnome Extensions application.
+Make sure `gettext` is installed on your system and the `gnome-extensions` executable is available
+on your `PATH` (It is typically bundled with `gnome-shell`).
+
+Afterwards, simply run `make` to build a zip suitable for submition to
+[EGO](https://extensions.gnome.org/).
+
+`make install` can also be used to install the extension for the current user.
+
+## Debugging tips & tricks
+
+- `journalctl -f --user` is your friend.
+- `make install && dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland` allows for quick prototyping
+ without having to log out and back in every single time when running under wayland.
+- `make install`, then `Alt+F2`, `r` and `Enter` allow for quick prototyping under X11.
