| # Use wofi to pick emoji because that's what this | |
| # century is about apparently... | |
| # | |
| # Requirements: | |
| # wofi, wlroots based compositor | |
| # | |
| # Usage: | |
| # 1. Download all emoji | |
| # $ wofi-emoji --download | |
| # | |
| # 2. Run it! | |
| # $ wofi-emoji | |
| # | |
| # Notes: | |
| # * You'll need a emoji font like "Noto Emoji" or "EmojiOne". | |
| # * Confirming an item will automatically paste it WITHOUT | |
| # writing it to your clipboard. | |
| # * Ctrl+C will copy it to your clipboard WITHOUT pasting it. | |
| # | |
| # Where to save the emojis file. | |

Wow, I've been using it for a while and have just now realized that it wasn't properly respecting my wofi config (I set layer=overlay because of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/hyti1v/wofi_appears_under_full_screen_windows/), so I started tinkering and through some trial and error realized that it was because of the single hyphen parameters. -dmenu should be --dmenu and so one. After I fixed that it started properly appearing on top of fullscreen windows and I saw the proper sizing that you have originally intended for it. 😃
Edit: After digging a bit more into it I think that it was disrespecting the layer config because of the -dmenu flag being interpreted as the combination of -d, -m and so on, among which -n meant --normal-window.

Pasting the emoji directly in this doesn't work properly. I hacked together a solution using
wtype, you can find it in my fork. I don't know how to suggest a revision here :)
