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.

    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
