Info: The emoji.json
file is a modified version from gemoji.
This project has a EmojiRunnerCommands.khotkeys file. This file contains two shortcuts (of course you can change them):
Ctrl
+Alt
+Space
Shows only EmojiRunner and favourites, if one emoji is selected it gets pasted to the current text input (demonstrated in gif). For this the Runner emits theCtrl
+V
key combination using xdotoolCtrl
+Alt
+Shift
+Space
Same as above except the favourites are not shown
These shortcuts start Krunner using qdbus. For example the command to launch the favourites is:
qdbus org.kde.krunner /App org.kde.krunner.App.querySingleRunner "emojirunner" "emoji "
You can import them in the System Settings module "Custom Shortcuts" by clicking on edit and then import.
The feature to paste the emojis can be disabled in the config dialog.
This global search can be enabled/disabled in the config dialog.
Additionally this screenshot shows the paste action, which is a new feature.
They are configured in the config dialog
This way you can search for emojis without search results from other plugins
You can search for emojis, set the unicode level (later versions can not be displayed) and you can enable/disable categories.
Additionally you can sort the favourites using drag and drop
You must provide a name and and emoji, the description and tags are optional
This gets saved in the ~/.local/share/emojirunner/customemojis.json file.
- If you don't have colorful emojis please try this solution.
- If the emojis do not get pasted try to increase the timeout for the pasting action by adding
pasteTimeout=timeout_in_ms
to the[Config]
group in~/.config/krunnerplugins/emojirunnerrc
.
If you have any other issues please let me know 😄.
