  4. ✨🦖🤖 Oh joy! Another #GitHub #project promising to revolutionize the digital #emoji landscape with the gloriously revolutionary concept of... *checks notes*... a #dinosaur emoji 🤯. Praise be to #Python #math for blessing us with this monumental leap in human ingenuity. Give me a PR or give me death! 🍆🎉

  5. 🎼 KlarinettenspielerInnen aller Länder vereinigt euch! Mit der Erweiterung um neue #Emoji-Grafiken (siehe z.B. #Apple #iOS 26.4) kommt ein weiteres #Blasinstrument hinzu – leider nur die Posaune. Neben #Trompete, #Horn, #Flöte und #Saxophon nun also wieder nur #Blech. Die #Königin der Instrumente, die Klarinette, bleibt dagegen erneut außenvor. Ich prangere das an. ✊🏼 🎶

  7. THIS IS GLORIOUS!!! 😍

    I replied to a thread earlier about the poo 💩 emoji being perfect for the AI icon. Someone replied the poo emoji combined with the AI ✨ emoji would be better.

    I just found out the Google gboard keyboard already combines the two emoji into an image of a fly infested
    poo if you use them together! 🤣🤣

  8. Hi all!

    If you're wondering why some #emojis like the #VerificationBadges or the #LGBTFlags have turned into :sillytextslikethis: —Yep, it's because of my fault. :amiga:

    Sorry. :heartbreak:

    I have shortened all the #VerifiedBadges and several of the #LGBTQ / #LGBTQI / #LGBTQIA / #LGBTQIAplus #emoji. Now it's easier to add them next to your display name. Some other emoji has been shortened as well. I promise not to overwrite them again.

    [Yeah, sure… :YouTried: ]

    #Badge #Badges #masto #mas_to

  9. Ok, I couldn't resist any more. Here's #French #qXmoji. Or, something like that ...? 🙈

    Dear native-speakers, if I messed up TOO badly, help me out and send patches / pull requests 🤣🍻

    (edit: ah great, I directly spot the first typo in this screenshot ... gonna fix immediately. Still, the hardest thing is to express technical things in french, I guess that counts as "domain specific language" and I really have NO idea how to do it)

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  10. #qXmoji v0.7 released!

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/relea

    This brings several improvements, mainly in the build system, but the major change is support for localization, with translated Emoji names imported from #Unicode #CLDR. I added a German translation, see screenshot. Once again, I'd appreciate more translations, the process to translate is documented here:
    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/

    Updated FreeBSD port:
    people.freebsd.org/~zirias/pat

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #FreeBSD #Linux

  11. If there are no takers, I might be seduced to add #French myself.

    TBH, this is kind of a threat to all french-speaking ppl. It's the only language I ever learned besides German and English, and school is a *very* long time ago. It will probably end up somewhat similar to your typical chinese user's manual 😂

    #qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  12. #qXmoji is now completely translatable, and fully localized for 🇩🇪.

    So, here comes a request for contributions 😁 (pretty please 🙃):

    More languages would be nice! Therefore I documented the process to add them here:
    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/blob/

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  13. Got a vertical prototype working, the tooltips in the "normal" emoji tabs are translated 🥳

    🍺o'clock, later ... 🍻

    #qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  14. Use the hashtable to map translations to emojis and auto-generate #Qt #Linguist translation files containing both texts -> done.

    I just *had* to check: No, there isn't a catchy german translation for "facepalming" 🙄

    #qXmoji #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  15. Working on the next thing for #qXmoji: #l10n.

    First step: Build a hash-table for localized emoji names from Unicode CLDR data.

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard

  16. Adding features in a module with clear boundaries is so much more fun!

    I just added different modes for using #Qt's #moc to my new USES=qt in my #gmake framework ... Testing it with #qXmoji (my new #X11 #emoji #keyboard) in the mode that just includes moc-generated stuff, and it works like a charm. No more extra compilation steps for moc, this whole build log now looks nicely short (screenshot: build from entirely clean git checkout) 🥳

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/commi

  17. In case you wondered: Why another #emoji input tool?

    As far as I know, #qXmoji is the *only* one working with "pure" #X11, acting like a virtual #keyboard. It *does* need the "Xtest" extension to fake "real" key presses, but that's (almost?) always available. It does *not* need other X clients to use some specific GUI toolkit (Qt, GTK, ...) or be at least XIM (input-method) aware. Instead, ANY X client works as the target – whether it can properly display emojis is another topic of course. 🤡

    So, that's why. Well, I found the "x11-emoji-picker" project, but this one relies on some external tool to inject the events, so it's not self-contained and less robust. Do you know of any other similar projects? Then let me know 😎

    Who said X11 was dead? It's a lie! 🐸

  18. #qXmoji v0.6 released!

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/relea

    This brings a *lot* of improvements and fixes, the most relevant being immediate persistence of settings and watching the settings file for external changes. To make this feasible also for restoring the history, a lot of work went into generating static emoji data that can be used efficiently (e.g. containing a hash table to find an emoji quickly).

    BTW, this even works on #NFS, so if you have your home shared and you're running qXmoji on two machines as the same user, the history will auto-update in both instances 🥳

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #Linux #FreeBSD

  19. Working on improving performance for the next #qXmoji release. This will require pre-generating stuff during build (different string formats and probably static hashtables), so doing this in #POSIX #shell script isn't feasible any more, therefore working on a data generation tool in #C now.

    I'm amazed how #lldb shows me my #Emoji structs while debugging this 😂

  20. #qXmoji v0.5 released!
    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/relea

    This brings a *few* of the ideas I had:

    🔹Add a "single instance" mode (configurable)
    🔹Add a "tray icon" (configurable behavior)
    🔹Add an "About" dialog
    🔹Enforce using Qt's "xcb" platform
    🔹Fix detaching on startup, add a flag (-d) to prevent it

    Pretty usable as it is I hope ... although one could of course improve a lot (but have you heard of the 80-20-rule?) 🫣

    Screenshot from #KDE this time, no particular reason, I'm still running #fvwm here 😎

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #Linux #FreeBSD

  21. Guess I *did* enter "shady areas" writing commit messages like this:

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/commi

    In theory, all #EWMH window managers should behave the same, I thought ... 😂🙈

    #qxmoji #x11 #emoji #keyboard

  22. Deep down the #X11 (#xcb) rabbit hole now.

    I decided to add a tray icon. I want it optional, with configurable behavior (minimize-to-tray, close-to-tray, no-tray).

    Adding this thing was super simple with Qt. Getting anything other than the default behavior ... not so much. Doing lots of things with plain #xcb now.

    I'm stuck at hiding the tool from a taskbar. #EWMH has _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR. In #fvwm (#fvwm3), this works when setting it before the window gets mapped. Sending it as a "client message" when the window is already mapped seems to be just ignored 😠

    I then tried #KDE (#kwin). Hm well, doesn't even honor the _NET_WM_STATE property set on the window before mapping it, IOW, it's *always* shown in the taskbar.

    WTF? 😖❓

    #qxmoji #emoji #keyboard

  23. Thinking about what to include in #qxmoji v0.5. Many questions in mind...

    I'll definitely "outscope" #l10n. Would be nice, but would also mean to import localized emoji names somehow (and, where to find them? 🤔)

    For now:

    🔹Unify persisting settings. history and window size are persisted on exit, wait time and display scale on every change. Not sure which one is the "better" approach...
    🔹Should it be "single instance"? Should it offer an option for a "tray icon"?
    🔹Add an "About dialog". Cause that's what you always do. 🙈
    🔹Maybe find a way to speed up initial creation of the Emoji buttons?
    🔹Anything else ...❓

    Please comment if you have thoughts to share 🙃

  24. Found a small bug, #xcb requests were synchronously checked, but this only works when calling the _checked() flavor of them ... 🙈

    Fixed in #qXmoji v0.4

    Also added a clear button to the search field, this seems somewhat useful 😉

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #Linux #FreeBSD

  25. 🥳 #qXmoji v0.3 released 🍻🍕

    Now there are the "basic" features you'd expect from an emoji keyboard:

    ✅ Search as you type
    ✅ Recently used

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/relea

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #Linux #FreeBSD

  26. #qXmoji v0.1 and v0.2 released 😎

    Functionally the same (just clickable emojis in tabbed groups, display size and wait-time for restoring the X11 keyboard map configurable), but v0.2 has correct README info and build-fixes, so Qt tools are found without fiddling with make variables 🙈 so, use v0.2 😎

    github.com/Zirias/qxmoji/relea

    #X11 #emoji #keyboard #Linux #FreeBSD

  27. First "features" added ...

    * Can now select 5 "scale factors" for the size of the emojis, "Tiny" being the same size as default window text (which is normally indeed tiny for emojis)

    * Auto-stores these settings as well as the window dimensions (not position!)

  30. Aattelepa ite:

    @husku on tehnyt #EliitinSome laisten käyttöön #MikkoKärnä -emojin, eikä kukaan muu millään muulla instanssilla voi sitä käyttää!

    Minä, minä olen toisella minälläni siellä Eliitin-Somessa, ja voisin siis käyttää sitä, MUTTA kuulun siihen ihmiseläinlajin minisculen pieneen vähemmistöön, joka ei käytä hyniöitä!

  31. This is probably old news but I recently saw someone using their hijab to turn their smartphone into a hands-free-headset. Such a cool move, I love that so much I had to draw it! ^__^
