Introduction

Indicator EmojiTwo is a simple emoji picker for Linux desktop environments and uses emoji data from the EmojiTwo project. To use the picker, choose your emoji from the dropdown menu and paste it where you want using Ctrl + v. You can also search for emojis by keyword.

The project was forked from emojione-picker-ubuntu by Jorge Suárez de Lis and migrated to Python 3.x.

Make it faster

The indicator takes a few seconds to load, but it can take many seconds on older computers. In Settings, enable the option Low end computer mode to reduce the number of emojis and categories which should speed up loading time. Currently, this mode shows ~1000 of the 1839 available emojis.
