+Quick Close in Overview
+-----------------------
+GNOME shell extension for quickly closing apps in the overview.
+
+[![Download from extensions.gnome.org](img/ego.svg)](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/352/middle-click-to-close-in-overview/)
+
+## Features
+
+- **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.
+
+## Building
+
+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.
+
+## Translations
+
+If you're interested in contributing a translation, import the translation template file under
+`src/po/template.pot` to your favourite po-editing software and create a `*.po` file under `src/po`.
+
+To update all existing translations after changing the code, run `make po`. To regenerate only the
+`template.pot` file, run `make pot`.
