FEATURES
• Tab 0 — Grep Search & Syntax Context Viewer: Recursively search directories
(supporting real home, removable media, and host read-only system paths
such as /etc and /usr) using file type masks (e.g. *.py;*.cpp;*.js;*.txt),
Plain text, RegEx, Whole Word, Case Sensitive, and Negation mode (list files
WITHOUT match). Inspect matching files alongside a rich line-numbered
context viewer showing configurable 0 to 10 Before/After context lines,
dimmed context hunks, and bright highlighted matching spans.
• Tab 1 — Extension Hit Breakdown & File Reader: Interactive extension
breakdown chart and table grouping matched files and total hit counts by
file extension, paired with a line-jump file reader to jump directly to any
matched line in full source context.
• Tab 2 — Exclude Rules, Presets & Export: Configure directory and extension
exclusion filters, optional PDF/Office document text search, manage saved
JSON grep presets, switch between English and Vietnamese UI, and export
full search results with context lines to formatted TXT or CSV reports.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Context Line File Grep

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
