Make the mail composer's emoji popover widget point to the button it is triggered from, and maybe position it upwards
3.38 brought about a small technological revolution:
The only refinement I'd suggest would be for the GtkPopover widget (EGtkEmojiChooser?) to:
- Emanate from the emoji button on the toolbar rather than the toolbar itself (maybe with the "pointing-to" property?)
- Optionally: position itself as GTK_POS_TOP instead of GTK_POS_BOTTOM, so that it avoids blocking the view of the composer's text area when enough space is available above (it would obscure the From/to/cc area instead, which is not where the emojis get inserted anyway... unless you were to implement the extra feature of taking into account whether the subject line GtkEntry is focused to allow inserting directly into the subject line (in that specific case then it would make sense for position to be GTK_POS_BOTTOM)
Just mentioning those ideas in case the popover's current positioning was an afterthought :)
