The Frequent apps grid has a few problems: * On a fresh install there would be no history of app usage so the applications shown in the grid have no relevance it takes time to be useful instead of being useful from the start; * The grid has far too many items in it to be relevant; 24 apps is well beyond the average use case as most people don't frequently use that many, so it gets populated with several apps that are single use (hello xterm); * The position of items in the grid are always changing based on an unknown frequency metric (and not by user-intended input) which makes it a poor way to quickly launch apps as one would have to constantly learn the positions of the items in the grid; * Having two app grids is a bit superfluous and needlessly complicates the app launching navigation: you have to spend time checking the frequent grid and if it's not there you have to switch over to another grid and find the app you need in there it's not straightforward. Remove the Frequent tab and simplify the related code. Related: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1425 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/880 |

Gnome-shell OSK layouts are extracted from CLDR layout definitions: https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/keyboards/layouts/index.html Updating these involves several steps: 1) Downloading and unzipping the tarball found at: http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/latest/keyboards.zip This file contains XML files describing the keyboard layouts. 2) Cloning the cldr2json script at: git://repo.or.cz/cldr2json.git It will be used to convert the XML files into JSON that can be directly consumed by gnome-shell. 3) Running the script to produce the files: ./cldr2json <input-directory> <output-directory> We shall usually use the "android" folder, since that's most complete, and similar to our UI and target sizes. And the target directory must be data/osk-layouts in this repository. 4) Modify gnome-shell-osk-layouts.gresource.xml to include the files 5) Do git add on the updated/new files, and git commit. Or alternatively: 1) Run update-osk-layouts.sh 2) Do git add and git commit
