Even if you disregard text editors, how are you expecting for tools like Shellcheck[1] to be able to function as snaps? I'd like to check various files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, .bash_logout, and those are just the relatively standard ones) with Shellcheck, but if I use the snap, I can't, and it sounds like you're not interested in changing this.

Should I just not be using the Shellcheck snap?
