Phaiax / cariboublocker

Prevents caribou from appearing when you use a touchscreen with the on screen keyboard disabled in gnome-shell 3.36

cariboublocker for Gnome Shell 3.36

Based on https://github.com/keringar/cariboublocker.

Change some naming to be compatible with Gnome Shell 3.36.

There are some naming changes in Gnome Shell, so the original project no longer works on some Gnome Shell versions (For me, it works on Fedora 21 with gnome-shell-3.34.5 and Xorg, but not on Fedora 32 with gnome-shell-3.36.3 and Xorg).

Only tested on Fedora 32 with gnome-shell-3.36.3 and Xorg.

Change Log

• Replace Keyboard with KeyboardManager in extensions.js.

Relevant Code

• https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/master/js/ui/keyboard.js
