Emoji button and pack for screen keyboard
Affected version
Ubuntu 20.04.01 GNOME Shell 3.36.4 x11
Feature summary
This enhancement request for ubuntu default screen keyboard (compared to windows 10 touch keyboard, not the screen keyboard)
What happened
No such facility. there're some annoying features may able to use for accomplish with our effort
Existing features (but unable to consider as solution)
- Ubuntu "insert emoji" feature able to use for applications similar text editor but it's not available everywhere.
- Keyboard shortcut: it help to get the emoji window for manually input to text fields but its usability more limited due unable to handle with third-party applications such as difficulties to keep on the top, cover large space by window, sometimes loss focus and has to select the text field one more time before input and waste time. Ref. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/06/use-emoji-linux-ubuntu-apps Furthermore, both methods cant use as force input method as we can do by physical keyboard or touch keyboard to any text field or in any limited environment
- I noticed there're few emoji supported screen keyboard types but its annoying to use with every languages. (because such keyboards are one type and our common language keyboards are another so always has to switch)
How would you like it to work
Windows 10 built-in touch keyboard (equivalent to ubuntu screen keyboard) But not the windows 10 screen keyboard. It has emoji key on the keyboard, once tap it then appear emojis (with categories) on the keyboard then we can insert necessary emojis during type anything.
How to find it?
- In this location (toolbar) has the windows 10 touch keyboard button and tap it.
