Vicinae Gnome Extension is a GNOME Shell extension that supercharges your Vicinae launcher experience.

Why Vicinae Gnome Extension?

There is a new launcher in town for Linux with raycast store compatibility and it fully works on Gnome. Well it didn’t at first and then I came in 😁

The Vicinae launcher needed proper GNOME integration to work seamlessly on the desktop environment. I built this GNOME extension to expose clipboard and window management APIs to the C++ backend, making Vicinae fully functional on GNOME.

The extension is now at 2200+ downloads on GNOME Extension Store and has become an essential component for Vicinae users on GNOME!

Key Features

• Clipboard events and Window management APIs through DBus
• Protect sensitive apps (like password managers) by blocking clipboard access
• Launcher window that mimics layer-shell protocol which auto-centers, stays on top, and gracefully closes when you click away
• Paste directly to focused window from vicinae clipboard history view
