Emoji support in Commodore OS

[amol]

By default it seems the usual keybindings to insert emoji in text in Linux do not work on Commodore OS.

It seems by the way that emote is available via snap, as much as I'm not fond of using snap packages installing it does work out of the box.

Code: Select all

snap install emote

after that, CTRL+ALT+E can be used to insert emoji in any text field supporting it.
In case the textfield doesn't work (for example in the terminal it doesn't) you can still insert the emoji by using CTRL+SHIFT+V or whatever is the paste key combination for that app. Emote does copy the emoji in the clipboard automatically when is selected.

I know part of the answer is that you need to set up a keyboard shortcut for it.

System --> Preferences --> Hardware --> Keyboard Shortcuts

Then add a shortcut...any name you want, and a command calling "snap run emote".
Assign a keyboard combo to the newly created shortcut (you'll need to click on the right side column to get the prompt).

That at least will launch emote, but I can't make it paste....hmmm.

There are few other ways to get emojis on linux... I'll take a look and hopefully get back to you.

For me when I installed emote it automatically worked the keyboard shortcut. I only had to logout and login again so that it started.
