This is a fork of rofimoji by fdw with the addition of over 25’000 unicode characters from /u/fe80c0ffee. Unicode characters are sorted to be shown first when invoking rofimoji. A .txt file with Awesome font from /u/Delearyus is supplied too, but not included by default; one can just copy/paste its content into rofimoji.py
between emoji_list = """
and """
.
Recommended command line to run rofimoji from a keybinding:
python3 /path/to/rofimoji/rofimoji.py -s ask --rofi-args="-columns 2; -width 50%; -no-click-to-exit; -theme sidebar"
The theme used in the above screenshot is sidebar by qball, which can be selected as default using rofi-theme-selector
in terminal.
Inspired by nkoehring/rofiemoji, the rofi script version of the above emoji-unicode-picker, matf/rofiemoji-rofiunicode is the combination of two rofi scripts to search emojis or unicode characters directly in rofi. Unicode characters and emojis show up as separate tabs when rofi is invoked. rofiemoji-rofiunicode does not allow multiple selection and requires using the clipboard, but the window can be customized further and it offers a solution unified with regular rofi. This is the version I use and therefore it is more likely to be updated.
How often did you want to insert one of those Unicode emoji only to learn that there is no nice picker for Linux? Fear no more, this script uses the power of rofi to present exactly the picker you always wanted. Inserts the selected emoji directly, or copies it to the clipboard.
rofimoji.py
shift+enter
enter
to insert the emoji directly \
Hit alt+c
to copy it to the clipboard \
alt+t
or alt+p
can be used to select a specific input methodFor some applications, xdotool
cannot type emojis (f.e. Firefox). To work around this, rofimoji
can copy the emojis to your clipboard and insert them from there with shift+insert
. Afterwards, it will restore the previous contents.
Unfortunately, it depends on the receiving application whether shift+insert
uses the clipboard or the primary selection. Therefore, rofimoji
uses both and also restores both 😐.
By default, rofimoji
uses xdotool type
. To choose to spam your clipboards, you can either use the keybinding alt+p
or start it as rofimoji --use-clipboard
(-c
). If you want to use typing, you can hit alt+t
, even though it was started with --use-clipboard
.
You can choose a skin tone with the --skin-tone
(or -s
) parameter. The available values are light
, medium-light
, moderate
, dark brown
, black
, as well as neutral
and ask
to be shown the prompt (this is also the default).
If you have any arguments for rofi, you can make rofimoji
pass them through like this: rofimoji --rofi-args="-columns 3"
.
You can also define your own set of emojis (or whatever) and use rofimoji
to pick them by providing the --emoji-file
(-f
) parameter. This could be helpful if you want them ordered in some way, only use a subset or if you want non-English descriptions.
A kind soul has packaged it as rofimoji. To, install, use sudo pacman -Syu rofimoji
.
Download rofimoji.py
and move it somewhere on your path, for example /usr/local/bin
.
What else do you need:
For Ubuntu zesty: sudo aptitude install fonts-emojione python3 rofi xdotool xsel
\
For Arch: sudo pacman -Syu emoji-font python rofi xdotool xsel
This is only needed if a new Unicode version came out and you can’t wait for the official update!
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
extract_emojis.py
- this downloads the complete list from https://unicode.org/emoji/charts-12.0/full-emoji-list.html, so don’t do it too often!emojis.py
should have been created. Open it and copy the contentsrofimoji.py
and replace the emoji list with the contents of emojis.py
emojis.py
?Because now you only have to download one file, and it works Additionally, we need no separate I/O just to load the emojis. This is good, right?
