Hello! Thank you for the PR! Looks awesome!

I have a question: have you tested it in the following GNOME Shell versions: 3.38, 40, 41?

[exincore]

Oops, I did not mean to do that.

It seems to function on 40 and 3.38 but I have not done anything extensive.

@exincore, sorry it wasn't merged.
The same functionality has been released in version 20: see #32. I'm closing the PR.

Many thanks for the PR! I'm waiting for the really cool feature in #24!

@win0err May I vouch for this PR to be reopened? The functionality implemented here is different by the behavior introduced in version 20. Namely, this PR allows:

• The user to specify a custom command, which currently does not seem to be possible
• The command to be run by left-clicking on the widget. Currently by doing that, the drop-down menu is presented instead.

It would be interesting to combine the functionality of this PR with what is currently possible in runcat 21 by allowing the user to choose the default behavior when left-clicking, specifying the executable they want to launch and customizing the text presented in the drop-down menu (which would still be accessible by right-clicking).

Ok, I've added the feature request to backlog. Thank you!
