forked from Emoji Selector (for GNOME Shell)
This Xfce Plugin provides a searchable popup menu displaying most emojis; Clicking on an emoji copies it to your clipboard.
NOTE This project is under development for Xfce support. It does not currently work.
currently Unicode 11 (soon 12)
- keyboard shortcut to open the extension's menu (Super E by defaut)
- dynamic search (press Enter to copy the first result to the clipboard)
- lots of parametrable things
- skin tone & gender modifiers
- middle-click to set to the cliboard without closing the menu (or Ctrl Enter)
- right-click to add the emoji at the end of the current clipboard content (or Shift Enter)
The keyboard navigation is designed to work with Tab, not the arrows.
It will be less ugly if you have the « Noto Emoji » font, the « Twitter Color Emoji » font, or the « JoyPixels Color » font installed on your system.
Loading hundreds of small pictures and thousands of keywords into the memory is a lot. Despite a few attempts to optimize their loading, I'm not an expert at all concerning memory management, and the extension may be responsible for between 10MB and 60MB of memory usage, which is a lot. Don't blame the actual GS devs for it.

The better option is to install it from here.
Download and extract the ZIP, then open a terminal in the project's directory,
and run ./install.sh. It should copy the "[email protected]"
folder to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/, which can be done manually
if you prefer.
You may need to restart the GNOME Shell environment (logout and login again, or
Alt F2 -> r ->, Enter).
