Works on Wayland out of the box. To make it work on Xorg:

1. Download the dbus_service folder. And place it whereever you want (/opt?)
2. Install the dependencies:

sudo apt install libinput-dev python3-pip
pip3 install python-libinput==0.1.0

3. Add the user to the input group with sudo gpasswd -a $USER input
4. Run the service with python3 main.py

Optional: of you want the show desktop to work set up the Super+D keybinding with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings show-desktop '<Super>d'.

Make sure the extension runs after the service, try disabling and enabling it on the extensions app if necesary.
