A search provider for GNOME Shell that adds support for searching in [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/).
|
|
|
|
Names of passwords will show up in GNOME Shell searches, choosing one will copy the corresponding content to the clipboard.
|
|

# Installation

## Packages

|
## Manual
|
|
|
|
Ensure that python>=3.5 and python-gobject are installed on your system and that pass is setup.
|
|
|
|
Download or clone this repository:
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone git@github.com:jle64/gnome-shell-pass-search-provider.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the installation script as root:
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need to you can change the installation paths to suit your system:
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo SYSCONFDIR=/etc DATADIR=/usr/share LIBDIR=/usr/lib LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Recommended : set gpg agent to use pinentry-gnome3 by adding `pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3` to `~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent.conf`.
|
|
|
|
Close and reopen your GNOME session or (if not on Wayland) just restart the Shell (alt + f2, r).
|
|
The search provider should show up and be enabled in GNOME search preferences and started on demand by GNOME Shell.
|
|
|
|
# Environment variables
|
|
|
|
If you are configuring pass through environment variables, such as `PASSWORD_STORE_DIR`, make sure to set them in a way that will propagate to the search provider executable, not just in your shell.
|
|
Setting them in `~/.profile` should be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
# Clipboard managers
|
|
|
|
If you are using GPaste, passwords will be sent to it marked as passwords, thus ensuring they are not visible.
|
|
Otherwise they are sent to the clipboard using `pass -c` which defaults to expiration after 45 seconds.
|
|
|
|
# Compatibility
|
|
|
|
This implements the `org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider2` D-Bus API.
|
|
I'm not sure since when this has been in GNOME nor until when it will stay.
|
|
This works fine on GNOME 3.22 and I expect it will continue to work for some time with ulterior versions.
|
|
|
|
# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If this does not work for you, make sure to look to wherever GNOME and D-Bus are logging for error messages (in the journal on systemd-using systems).
|
|
Don't hesitate to open an issue.
