Global-hotkey Spotlight fuzzy snippet picker with X11 focus restoration

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to PhraseSpot for instant Spotlight-style
fuzzy snippet searching and pasting. Independent open-source project, not
affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by PhraseSpot. Uses XGrabKey and
XTest on X11; Wayland-native sessions restrict global hotkeys and external
window activation.

FEATURES
- Global-Hotkey Fuzzy Spotlight Popup: summon the instant search overlay from
any app, match tagged text, code, or email templates by fuzzy subsequence
and usage-frequency ranking.
- Dynamic Variable Placeholders: resolve {{name}}, {{date}}, {{time}},
{{clipboard}}, {{user}}, and custom saved fields before pasting.
- Instant X11 Focus Restoration & JSON Backup: automatically restores focus to
the prior X11 window on Enter, pastes via X11Input, tracks usage frequency,
imports/exports JSON libraries, and supports English and Vietnamese UI.
