Gnome Search Provider for Ripasso #359
Conversation
Implements a GNOME search provider for Ripasso. This is a very convenient way to obtain passwords from pass when using the GNOME shell. I totally understand if this isn't the kind of addition you would like to see in this repo, especially if you don't use GNOME. So I have no problem spinning it off into it's own project. It's only about 150 LoC. But since there is already a GTK project in here, I figured why not give it a shot. There will need to be some additions made for the configuration files. I know there is at least an arch linux package, and I'd be happy to contribute to that. Thanks for your work on Ripasso!

This looks cool, I'll try to give it a test spin on my gnome machine during the week. |
It is an extremely simple way to use pass. Just hit the super key, start typing the name of the entry to you want the secret for, hit enter, done. No need to involve any other applications. |

sorry for dragging my feet on this, I will get it tested soon. |

No rush, I put a version up here: https://github.com/Fingel/ripasso-gnome-search-provider/ that can be installed standalone, it's what I've been using. |

I think we need some more instructions on how to use this.
What should a user do after they run the install.sh script, should they enable the systemd services, or is it a gnome setting somewhere to enable it?
A screenshot on how it looks to use the searchbar and get results from ripasso would maybe also be nice?

I updated the Readme with instructions and a screenshot.
Also thank you for making me realize I was working without Clippy enabled in my editor this entire time...
Ideally, the steps in the install.sh script would be baked into distribution packages. For example, I have a PKGBUILD for Arch that does the installation. Much better because they are cleaned up when the package is uninstalled.
