[FEATURE] Why is the emoji picker just opening the ml4w sidebar?

Open mrjxtr opened this issue 11 months ago • 7 comments

Why is the emoji picker just opening the ml4w sidebar?

Previously, it just showed all the emojis in one window, but now we have to do one more extra click (using the mouse) to open the emoji menu from the sidebar and choose an emoji. Is there not a way to do the previous behaviour?

This is what's showing after doing the emoji picker keybind. Image

I tried to reduce the amount of apps and have removed smile. But I agree, it's one more click.

You can change it easily by installing smile manually and set smile as your Emoji Picker in the Settings App:

Would that work for you?

Thanks for the response... I totally get your point. And yes, I am planning to do what you've suggested... Because I use emojis a lot 😆😆😆.

Will there be an update in the future that will allow just the emoji picker that you are using on this update to just pop up without needing to click on the sidebar? 👀

It is already possible. You can open the emoji picker with Super+Ctrl+e

I meant will there be an update or at least a way for Super+Ctrl+e to open this emoji picker as shown below?.. (allowing users to use this instead of using smile)

Got it. Let's see. I am currently learning how to add launch parameters to flatpaks. If I find it out then it should be possible.

In the mean time re-installing smile + some windowrules can get the desired result.

I solved this by adding a window rule to the windowrules/custom.conf and changing the emoji picker in settings to smile. Attached are screenshots of the results.

windowrulev2 = float,class:(it.mijorus.smile) windowrulev2 = pin, class:(it.mijorus.smile) windowrulev2 = move 100%-w-40 80,class:(it.mijorus.smile) `

Yes, I did something similar, I just forgot to update the issue here 😅 (my bad) . I installed smile and am currently using it, it goes exactly where you have it right now...

I didn't even have to touch the windowrules too.
