Quick search like Codespace or Alfred just for massCode

[pkd2989]

Hi,
I use dual boot setup, Windows + Linux
Currently I use https://codespace.app/ for storing my snippets, which is supported on both platform.

Pros:
The main feature that let me keep using this is QuickSearch, wherever I am I can do "Alt+S" and start typing and it will filter the snippet, and with a press of Enter, it is copied to my clipboard. And hence I can use it with anycode editor/IDE and both OS.

Cons:
The only shortcoming with Codespace app is that it doesn't have a shared Folder, which I can setup and access it from other OS. The only way is to Export the collection and import it on another.

Oppurtunity/Idea: For massCode, just add the similar QuickSearch feature as this will be very much useful. I will switch full time to massCode if this is implemented.

Thanks for work.
Regards

Hi @pkd2989

In the application you can press "Cmd+F" or "Ctrl+F" to focus on the search field. Perhaps that's what you're looking for.

For macOS users, there is integration with Raycast and Alfred. For all platforms there is integration with VS Code.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
No.
I meant, I should be able to do snippet search without having to launch the massCode in front. Like in Codespace, I can search and select snippet without having to leave my working editor/IDE. The Codespace application is launched and minimized in background in system tray, and user can continue to write code, press "Alt+S" and a search dialog pops-up and I can search and copy snippet just like that. I hope I could make this clear now.

Sorry, you are correct.
I had Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, where it was working. With 22.04 it is crashing. I have written to the developer.

Also there are no updates since long. That's why having that feature on massCode may be very useful.
