rofi-emoji VS rofi

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

Rocket on MacOS - https://matthewpalmer.net/rocket/ Rofi-based emoji picker - https://github.com/Mange/rofi-emoji

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.

You'll probably like rofi.

Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

OS: Arch Linux WM: Qtile Panel: Qtile bar Launcher: Rofi Notification Daemon: Dunst Terminal: Alacritty Shell: Zsh Compositor: Picom File Manager: Nemo Music Player: Spotify & ncmpcpp

I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
