This Gnome shell extension provides a simple popup menu with some emojis in it ; Clicking on an emoji copies it to your clipboard.
- keyboard shorcut to open the extension's menu
- dynamic research (press enter to copy the first result to the clipboard)
- lots of parametrable things
(Color emojis depends on your system, not on the extension.)
The better option is to install it from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1162/emoji-selector/
Arch Linux users can install gnome-shell-extension-emoji-selector-git from AUR.
Download files and put them in an "emoji-selector@maestroschan.fr" folder to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
You may need to restart the gnome shell environnment ("logout and login again", or alt + f2 + r + enter).
It will be less ugly if you have the « Twitter Color Emoji » font, or the « EmojiOne Color » font installed on your system. These fonts are on github.
Arch Linux users can install emojione-fonts from AUR.
Settings don't apply
Yes sorry it's not automatic. Disable the extension, re-enable it.
Can you translate the extension in (some language) ?
The extension is currently available in english, french, brazilian portuguese, italian, esperanto and german. I only know french and english, so if you need a specific language, please contribute : you just have to be inspired by the existing .po files !
There is no racialized smileys / LGBT peoples / gender-specific activities / "numbers in square" symbols :'(
I'm sorry about that, but most fonts have a bad technical support for these caracters, which didn't display well (at least on my computer), so i prefered doing without these emojis.
amivaleo (italian translation + lot of ideas)
jonnius (german translation)
picsi / frnogueira (brazilian portuguese and esperanto translations)
