Xbindkeys doesn't work in Gnome overview

Here is my ~/.xbindkeysrc config:

"gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval 'imports.ui.main.wm._showWorkspaceSwitcher(global.display, null, { get_name() { return `switch-to-workspace-down` } });'"
   b:8

"gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval 'imports.ui.main.wm._showWorkspaceSwitcher(global.display, null, { get_name() { return `switch-to-workspace-up` } });'"
   b:9

It assigns workspace switching to my mouse buttons. And it works everywhere but in Gnome overview (when you press the Super key you can see this overview). Is there anything that I can do to fix it?

I can patch gnome-shell if it’s needed. But I don’t what should be in the patch :slight_smile:

My environment

  • Gnome Shell 3.36.4
  • Ubuntu 20.04

I solved my issue by using easystroke package

sudo apt-get install easystroke
