#### Word processor for fast, private writing - DOCX, PDF and spell check

Wordforge is a fast, native word processor and document editor for Linux. It
runs fully offline: no account, no cloud, no browser engine inside.

Write with real page layout, paragraph styles (Normal, Title, Headings),
bullets and numbering, tables, pictures, bookmarks, find and replace, and
spell check as you type. Copy and paste keeps formatting from web pages,
Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. Print, export PDF, and open or save DOCX files
(complex Word features are not preserved yet). Text shaping covers Hindi and
other Indic scripts, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and emoji.
Unsaved work is recovered after a crash. Light and dark themes, a Ctrl+K
command palette and a distraction-free focus mode keep the page in front.

This is a developer preview: headers and footers, comments and track changes
are still to come. Built with C++20, Qt 6 and Skia; open source under
Apache-2.0. Also available for Windows.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Wordforge - Word Processor

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
```
