[Feature] Arrow keys navigate individual emoji #20

Open nuke-web3 opened 2 weeks ago

nuke-web3 commented 2 weeks ago

Presently, the arrow keys (L&R) only navigate the category, I would very much like to be able to navigate to and select an emoji on the screen.

Ideally, I would press any arrow key and have the focus jump to "hover" on the top-left emoji in the window (this would be the most recent last_used) and from there arrows moved as expected.

Note: with #18 you might be "trapped" by the input so arrows would not function to select... :thinking: not sure how to toggle text input vs. navigation best here

You can press tab and shift tab. I guess vertical arrow is equivalent to pressing tab n times. But I do not know how I would do it with the flex layout.

I have thought of adding these features, but the toolkit is not very capable, so it's like at least 5 times more work for simple features.
