Review of "Spotlight" version 1.0 (1)

Details Page Preview

A compact macOS Spotlight inspired launcher for GNOME Shell. Features: * Instant app search using GNOME's AppSystem, ranked by usage * Apps first — the main feature, always top priority * Inline calculator (type '12 * 8 + 3', press Enter to copy result to clipboard) * GNOME Settings panels search (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Display, etc.) * Web search fallback — only appears when no apps match (Google / DuckDuckGo / Brave / Bing / Startpage) * Search icon on the left side (macOS Spotlight style) * Compact, very rounded, no blur, no overlay * Always opens centered on the primary monitor CLIPBOARD ACCESS: This extension writes to the clipboard ONLY when the user explicitly selects a calculator result (presses Enter on a math expression). No clipboard data is read or transmitted to any third party. This is a user-initiated action, not background access. Open with Ctrl+Space (set in preferences).
