rofimoji VS Parachute

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.

I think this script (demoed here) might be something that you'd want to look into. However, development is paused and I've no idea if it currently works. Still, you might add a link to the script in the bug report and perhaps contact Nate Graham to let him know this exists.

5.24 brought the amazing Overview effect to Plasma, it's beautiful and useful. With Parachute breaking in 5.23 the Overview effect was highly anticipated and now that it's native, a user no longer needs to install a separate Kwin script to get this awesome virtual desktop switcher / window previewer.

Parachute has been paused, any forks or similar projects?

parachute script and toggle-parachute.

Your answer reminded me of this subject being discussed on the Parachute effect github on this issue.

you can try using parachute, it will show you your desktop wallpaper with blur plus it has more functionality (krunner) and looks better in my opinion. It also works with the compositor turned off https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

This one does the job, but seems to be abandoned, sadly: https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

My fusuma config: I have configured fusuma to move to right virtual desktop on three finger swipe right, left virtual desktop on three finger swipe left, run parachute (MacOS like overview) on three finger swipe up, and show desktop on three finger swipe down. In order to do so, I had to configure KDE shortcuts, parachute automatically adds ctrl+super+d shortcut and if I correctly remember, KDE has meta + d to show desktop by default . My config is as follows:

All I really wanted was a workspace picker the one in Windows 10, Elementary OS, MacOS, GNOME, and Deepin. I wanted to avoid installing Parachute because just I don't enjoy tweaking my desktop, digging through settings, or troubleshooting; I just want the defaults to work because I couldn't actually get Parachute to work. (Yes, I know what activities are and how they work, but they're not what I'm looking for.)
