Shell – Ubuntu 17.10 (gnome shell) and workspaces grid previews

gnome-shellworkspaces

Is it possible, with gnome-shell, to get NxN workspaces (for example 3×3) with previews, like this was possible with unity ?

If yes, how ?

Thanks a lot.

Best Answer

Yes, you can do it using the Workspace Grid extension.

Do one of the following (reproduced from the Installation section):

  1. Download the .zip file on the Downloads page.
  2. Open gnome-tweak-tool, go to "Shell Extensions", "Install Extension" and select the .zip file.

Or

  1. Visit https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/484/workspace-grid/
  2. Install by clicking the toggle switch
  3. Hit the configuration button next to the switch (a page reload may be required).
