From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for a better emoji picker (lemmy.world)

I'm on KDE Plasma using wayland, and I'm annoyed with KDE's emoji picker. Well, the interface is fine, I just want emojis to immediately be pasted into the text field that was in focus when I used the shortcut to launch the emoji picker. Basically I want the behavior to be as close to the Windows emoji picker as possible.

Does anyone know of an alternative that allows me to quickly type 2 different emojis in succession? Bonus points when it's easily available on arch.

This is definitely a good contender. I do already use 2 different keyboard layouts regularly, so I think it might get annoying when I'm trying to switch between those two. I'll give it a go though, thank you!

I just became the maintainer of the AUR package of ibus-uniemoji, please comment there if it's still not working for you. I also updated to the new upstream version, it looks much better than on the gif.

I'll check it out again, thanks!

Kinda off topic, but after I played around with all these emoji boards, every time I reboot, my system keyboard layouts get reset. Any idea what may be causing this?

I remember similar things happened to me when I fiddled some with settings which could be set up both on the DE and also on the system level. So I guess something similar happens here.

Does it already reset if you are on the login screen, or if you open a tty?

On the ArchWiki page on Xorg keyboard config there is a big warning:

Note: XKB options can be overridden by the tools provided by some desktop environments such as GNOME and Plasma.

Ohh I didn't realize there's a difference between system and DE keyboard options. I'll look into that, thanks
