Gnome: Is there a way to ahve any window available as a dropdown over all workspaces?

It’s not a gnome extension, but you can use tdrop to implement this functionality. This a shell script that lets you make any program a drop down. Once you have the command you want to run, you can then add key bindings to gnome to toggle it.

Any idea if this supports Wayland, or just X?

Edit: Looks like it’s only X

I don’t know, but am commenting, to remember this in the future. I’m a total archaic beast. Please don’t judge me.

Something like this would do it. Looks unmaintained as of Gnome 41. It may or may not work with higher versions

This will definitely be a problem if you upgrade to 45, as all plugins will need to be updated to work.

That’s a real shame, because your question reignited my own search for the same thing

There is an extension. It might be the guake one.

I remember finding it to use for the terminal but found out you can set up multiple apps. I tried it with firefox…
