My 2-year old was mashing keys on my keyboard and somehow summoned an emoji picker (something I've been meaning to configure for ages), and I can't figure out what he did...
@pganssle What OS? If it's GNOME, Ctrl+. only works in GNOME apps. Trick I have found is to use the search which will copy an emoji to the clipboard if Characters can find it.
@brettcannon Yeah, Arch using Cinnamon. Doesn't seem as useful as I had hoped anyway because it seems like you need to select the emoji with a mouse anyway?
I am falling back to my previous plan to reactivate ibus to try its emoji picker (I already have it installed from when I used to write a lot more Japanese text, but I switched to uim ages ago for reasons I can't now recall and also now I am not 100% sure how to switch back 😛
@pganssle If you manage to get that to work in non-GNOME apps like Firefox, please let me know how you pull it off (GNOME is using ibus).
I think it was Ctrl + ., but it only works in certain places...
