  • One of the joys of using Linux is learning and figuring things out. What have you learned lately that you'd like to share?

    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
  • Thank you for five years of 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.

    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.
  • Quick tip: easy rofi emoji picker for your i3 setup

    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.
  • Things I would love to see in kde plasma.

    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.
