Need Help with Linux Mint 12


I would like to add a function in the MGSE extension.js for mintmenu that keybinds the Super_L key to the menu button.


I believe the correct file to add this function to would be:


/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/bottompanel linuxmint com/extension.js


In this file there is a "moveMe: function(item)"


 moveMe: function(item) {

        item.actor.get_parent().remove_actor(item.actor);

        

        if (item==Main.panel._mintMenu) {

            this.leftBox.insert_actor(item.actor, 0);

        }

        else if (item==Main.panel._mintWindowList) {

            let _children = this.leftBox.get_children(); 

            this.leftBox.insert_actor(item.actor, _children.length);

        }

        else {

            this.leftBox.add(item.actor);

        }

        

        if (item==Main.panel._mintMenu || item==Main.panel._mintWindowList) item.setBottomPosition(true);

    }

};


Further down the script:


Main.wm._reset();


    bottomPanel = new BottomPanel();

    bottomPanel.relayout();

    

    /* Look for the menu */

    if (Main.panel._mintMenu != null) {

        bottomPanel.moveMe(Main.panel._mintMenu);

        global.log("mintPanel found mintmenu");

    }

    

    /* Look for the show desktop button */

    if (Main.panel._mintShowDesktopButton != null) {

        bottomPanel.moveMe(Main.panel._mintShowDesktopButton);

        global.log("mintPanel found mintShowDesktopButton");

    }

    

    /* Look for the window list */

    if (Main.panel._mintWindowList != null) {

        bottomPanel.moveMe(Main.panel._mintWindowList);

        global.log("mintPanel found mintWindowList");

    }

    

    /* Tell the main panel we're here */

    Main.panel._mintPanel = bottomPanel;

}


>From looking at this, could the function be placed in this script? Or is main.js or windowManager.js the correct location?


Not sure where to start with _javascript_ for applications. I have only little skill in js for web. dev..


Any feedback would be appreciated.
