Emoji-Picker

Usage
- Run
rofimoji.py
- Search for the emoji you want
-
- Hit enter to insert the emoji directly
- Hit
Alt+c
to copy it to the clipboard
- 🎠
How does it look?
Installation
Download rofimoji.py
and move it somewhere on your path, for example /usr/local/bin
.
What else do you need:
- Python 3
- A font that can display emoji, for example EmojiOne or Noto Emoji
- xdotool for typing the emoji
- xsel to copy the emoji to the clipboard
For Ubuntu zesty: sudo aptitude install python3 fonts-emojione xsel xdotool
Updating the emojis
This is only needed if a new Unicode version came out and you can't wait for the official update!
- Install Python 3 and
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
- Run
extract_emojis.py
- this downloads the complete list from https://emojipedia.org/emoji/, so don't do it too often! - A new file
emojis.py
should have been created. Open it and copy the contents - Open
rofimoji.py
and replace the emoji list with the contents ofemojis.py
FAQ
Why is it so pedestrian? Why not simple import from 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?
