Is it possible, with gnome-shell, to get NxN workspaces (for example 3x3) with previews, like this was possible with unity ?



If yes, how ?



Thanks a lot.

          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).

          • @davcha No, but you're not going to get anything better unless you implement it yourself.

            Where does one find the "Shell Extensions" item. On the left side of the gnome-tweak-tool I find an item with the name Extensions. Under this I see Ubuntu appindicators and Ubuntu dock. That is for Ubuntu 17.04.
