Hi,

The above signal fires whenever a workspace is switched, be it via the
overview, keybinding, etc.

If you only want your function to fire when the overview is open you
check whether the overview is visible with `Main.overview.visible`.

global.screen.connect('workspace-switched', function () {
    if (Main.overview.visible) {
        // your function
    }
});
