Hey Davi! That's a great idea, since I'm using the Gnome Shell for searching and opening files a lot!
Do you plan to release it as a plugin, so that it could be published here <https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Plugins>? Additionally, the installation process would be simpler. Thanks!
