Description

Hello developer, I have been using lepton for some time. This tool is very good and solves the problem of managing GitHub gist by myself. But every time I want to search code on the IDE, I always need to switch to this software and search from lepton. Does it support global code search? In this way, I can keep the cursor from leaving my ide editor, so that my working reason is not interrupted. Thanks.

Research direction
Investigate how Lepton currently manages snippets and search functionality. Look for existing global hotkey implementations in Electron applications. Review the codebase to understand the main process and renderer communication (IPC). Propose a design for a system wide search that allows searching code from any IDE without leaving the editor.
