Panel File Search Bar

FLOATING SEARCH BAR & INSTANT DROPDOWN
• Always-accessible docked top/bottom X11 Search Strip
(NETWMWINDOWTYPE_DOCK) toggleable via global hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+F) or
control panel, paired with a live instant dropdown result list.
• Powered by SQLite FTS5 incremental indexing over your real home folders
and mounted drives with filter chips: All, Folders, Docs, Images, Code,
Archives, Regex, plus custom extension chips.
• Keyboard-first workflow: Enter opens the selected file (xdg-open),
Ctrl+Enter opens the containing folder, Up/Down navigates hits.
• Full embedded Search Workbench directly inside Tab 1.

INDEX SCOPES & REAL FILE ACTIONS
• Add or remove indexed folders in your home directory, /media, or /mnt,
and configure directory exclusion patterns.
• Background incremental indexer displays exact indexed file count, folder
count, SQLite index size on disk, and scan elapsed milliseconds.
• Real file actions on any selected result: Copy Path, Compute SHA-256
checksum, Move to Trash, or Permanent Delete.

FILTER RULES, DOCK PLACEMENT & HOTKEY
• Create custom extension filter chips that appear live on both the Search
Strip and Search Workbench.
• Configure dock edge (Top / Bottom / Floating), target monitor, EWMH strut
reservation, and global XGrabKey hotkey.

LIMITATIONS (honest)
• Docked window type hints and global XGrabKey hotkeys require an X11 /
XWayland display session; pure Wayland compositors restrict global grabs.
