Emote is a modern emoji picker for Linux 🚀
Written in GTK3, Emote is lightweight and stays out of your way.
Launch the emoji picker with the configurable keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+Alt+E`, and select one or more emojis to paste them into the currently focused app.
- 🾠Built as a popup: quick invocation, and disappears when not needed, does not stay as a standalone window
- 🫠Provide a large and up-to-date list of emojis retrieved from openmoji.org
- 🧠Shows the last used emojis by default
- 🔎 Search text box automatically focused and ready to type when invoked
- âŒ¨ï¸ Can use shortcuts to navigate and select emojis
- âœ’ï¸ Selected emoji automatically pasted to your currently focused app (on X11 only)
Please note that:
âš¡ï¸ Emote shows up faster when invoked using the built-in keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl+Alt+E` by default), than when using a manually registered keyboard shortcut.
🪟 Emote under Wayland cannot automatically paste the emoji into other apps, and also requires manual registering of a global keyboard shortcut - . This is due to intentional restrictions in the design of Wayland itself.

It comes with a good shortcut that can easily be changed to "SUPER + ." , just like windows users are used to. The emoji are pasted directly to the text field instead of (only) saving to the clipboard. Also it's GTK3 so it looks nice on mint's design language. Great experience! Easy 5/5!
This is awesome, brings emoji-picker functionality from Windows to Linux. Super easy to set up and you can change the keybind to bring it up. Thanks for making it!
