Is there a GNOME extension which shows screen snapshots in the grid when switching workspaces?

Since Ubuntu 18.04 switched from Unity I have to learn how to use GNOME and tailor it to suit me. I installed the "Workspace Grid" extension to arrange the workspaces in a grid, just like Unity used to have it.
Now I'm looking into how I can make individual workspaces in the grid show a snapshot of the screen. I want to see all the apps open in a workspace when the grid pops up as I switch from one to another with CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can press <Super> key (or click "Activities") to get to Activities overview and then press <pg up>/<pg down> keys to navigate between workspaces and you'll get to see windows of running applications on each workspace.

thanks, I figured that out. But I want to go back using the workspace grid, like in Unity. I work with a lot of workspaces where each one has an app I need in it, and the way Unity was showing the grid helped me manage them really well.

looks like this is still an issue in the workspace grid extension, see github.com/zakkak/workspace-grid/issues/4
