Emoji picker expansion #190

Open mark2185 opened 2 years ago

mark2185 commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to pick emojis that aren't one of the 6 recommended ones? Some sort of "here's all of them, pick one"?

exquo commented 2 years ago

Currently not. There are plans to use a python emoji module like this one. It will give a full list of emojis that could be used by the picker. It will also allow to add emojis to messages by typing their aliases like :thumbs_up:.

In the meantime, one solution to produce emoji and other special symbols on linux is to use a compose key. Works in any application.

You can also insert (e.g. paste) any emoji as a reaction in the 'third row' input area of the emoji picker window.
