i3-sticky VS rofimoji

There exists an experimental patch for i3 that does this, so maybe it's worth looking into that. I'm afraid we won't see this in either i3 or sway for a long time though.

For floating windows, as others pointed out, stickiness is a good answer. For tiled windows things become naturally more complicated. A long time ago I prototyped i3-sticky, feel free to check it out – but an actual "product" would have to be built out of this to be really usable, I think.

I would assume that they just mean rofi which is an app launcher that can be configured to do a lot more than just that. It can work as an emoji picker, calculator, and other general menus

Last week, I released version 6.0.0 with support for a new grid-like theme and some smaller stuff.

I use Rofimoji. It works on Wayland and Xorg.

you choose wrong subreddit, this doesnt have anything to do with i3, you can look at this github page, maybe it will help https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji

For these other emoji characters, one would typically need to turn to a helper application like the KDE Emoji Picker, the Gnome Emoji Selector, or a web browser with Emojipedia. There are also extensions for the rofi utility (rofi-emoji and rofimoji) which allow a lightweight solution for those not in full desktop environments.

I'm trying to set up an emoji picker on top of my rofi install. I found this repository that has a python install option: https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji

https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji see how they do this, you have to run some scripts over rofi. xdotool is what you are looking for i think.

Well recently I found rofimoji and it does exactly what the Windows picker does, but better - it's got great aliases so you can look up what you want without knowing exactly its name, etc. Somehow it's even in the community repository.

Emoji: Windows 10 has the most robust emoji picker there is. It opens with meta+. similar to plasma but that's where the similarity ends. Windows emoji picker doesn't copy paste emoji, it writes to the open window. User can input as many emoji as they like without pressing ctrl+v every time. I have tried many alternatives, Emote, rofimoji,x11-emoji-picker. Among those x11-emoji-picker is closest to windows but has a lot of bugs. I have had system freeze🥶🥶, no keyboard shortcut not working, frame drops🥴🥴🥴.

That was several years ago, and now [rofimoji](https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji) can do all UTF-8 characters (and custom ones), works on Wayland and is packaged for some distros. I'm so happy how my tiny project turned out and how many people helped with PRs and issues.

Professionally, I (and the whole team) lost track of our deployed artifacts, as we're not on a release schedule but also not really on continuous deployment. Mainly, we released when someone noticed that a release has been running stably on staging for a while.
