rofi-emoji VS gitmoji-cli

However, this thing is gtk-specific. The most efficient workaround is to use another custom emoji picker, such as Emote or Rofi-emoji (I use this)

rofi-emoji i use this one.

Seems to be a known problem as there are now several other users posting similar issues https://github.com/Mange/rofi-emoji/issues/46

I'm trying to write a fuzzy-finder prompt for inserting emojis into arbitrary applications (like https://github.com/Mange/rofi-emoji, but I want it to just type in the emoji rather than copying it to the clipboard).

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.

Personally, i've had good luck with this kind of setup when bound to a keypress. There are also themes for it to make it more grid-like.

While there is gitmoji-cli, there are times when I just want to use another emoji that has not been incorporated into the gitmoji project. For example, I may use a cookie (🍪) when writing a commit message related to work on HTTP cookies, or a vomiting face (🤮) for a commit which adds a lot of debug statements.

Then, you have to enter them. Tools exist for this, for example among others, the official site which allows you to copy and paste the gitmoji codes or directly the emojis (the CTRL+F greatly increases the search speed); or a tool in CLI; or a browser extension ✌️ make life more convenient. Others are also available and listed on a page of the official website.
