I don't wanna install your app or somehow integrate it to OS. And I don't want make any registry traces or system user folders traces.

Just ZIP/7Z-file — unpack it and launch EXE-file.

Describe the bug
EFCK Not pasting emojis or putting in clipboard

To Reproduce
I do not know how to reproduce this, this error has been happening since 22.10 Kinetic Kudu, both in the Linux binary package and the .deb package

Expected behavior
idk

Versions
Specify versions:
OS: Ubuntu Linux Lunar Lobster (23.04)
Qt: I think 6
EFCK: This one

Additional context, screenshots
After clicking an emoji:

On X11, the app may at emoji activation/exit hang for a few seconds, printing:

QXcbClipboard: Unable to receive an event from the clipboard manager in a reasonable time

Fantastic, more features then i knew i wanted- got it for emojis and theres so much more...

Question: is there a way to keep the window open or minimize/maximize? The app start a tad slower then i often need in a pinch, theres not many aliases (finding an emoji by similar words) and many new emojis i wouldnt even knew how to find but scrolling... on selecting an emoji to apply the window auto-closes- and after that is another slow startup and the list back at the top

And if not possible those are my main suggestions:
-options for not closing, always on top
-being able to minimize to taskbar

This piece of software is great, thank you for that! I really like it over Windows 11 default emoji picker.
However, the main window has the nice title "EF*CK" … which may be not "safe to work" 😉

Describe the solution you'd like
An option to hide or rename the title to something nicer

I really this app, this is the best option I have found for emoji picker on KDE, way better yhan the KDE integrated emoji picker.

However it is difficult to make it work on wayland, because wtype is not supported with some compositors and also I dont want to run ydotool as a service.

So my use case is simple:

• I map Meta+. to efck
• Once I select something it uses "wtype" (not really) to paste it to my clipboard
• I hit ctrl+v

1 Fixing wtype compositor problem

Install CopyQ, it works on wayland and also X, and is good fit any DE.
On my Arch I dis with sudo pacman -S copyq

Copyq has a GUI interface, but we are only interested in the CLI it allows to add things to clipboard

As efck expects wtype and there is no way YET to customize the clipboard manager, we need to use a workaround

Create a file called wtype on your local bin ~/.local/bin/ or ~/bin

#!/usr/bin/env sh
copyq copy $1

chmod +x on it.

And that is it!

Map some keybinding to efck and it will call your script to add emoji selection to clipboard.

RFC

Make it possible to customize the clipboard command, so I can pass ["copyq", "copy"]

Btw: Thanks for this great tool!

LibEI seems like the designated XTest-like interface for Wayland: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei

If someone cares to figure out how to use this ...

Describe the bug
On Windows, when clicking on an emoji, it should be inserted into the last active window / input field bevor opening efck - but it doesn't.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open notepad (or any other application / input line)
2. Click strg+alt+.
3. click on an emoji in efck
4. efck closes, the focus returns to the previously active windows but no emoji is inserted

Expected behavior
The clicked emoji should be inserted in the last active window / input field.

Versions
Specify versions:
OS: Windows 11 Pro, 10.0.22631 Build 22631
Qt:
EFCK: 6.1.7601.17514

When activating "Force clipboard" the selected emoji is placed into the clipboard. But direct pasting would be much nicer...

Currently, it takes 2~3 seconds to pull up EFCK keyboard from shortcut.
The Windows Emoji (Win+.) is almost instantaneous.

Describe the solution you'd like
Keep EFCK waiting in the background (in the systray?), so it is shown >1 sec after typing the keyboard shortcut.

Sorry for my flood of requests, but I really like this software :)

Noto Color Emoji is huge.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make a version with Noto Emoji (Monochrome) dependency, instead of Noto Color Emoji.

• https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji

Additional context

Make use static NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf (not variable NotoEmoji-VariableFont_wght.ttf).

If I open the EFCK window with a keyboard shortcut, it stays there.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have a (configurable?) timeout, so after X seconds EFCK close automatically.

Question

How do I install the binary package?

I am new to ubuntu and the .deb package does not support darkmode but the binary package does, how to install it?

Implement drag and drop action for all app tabs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Emoji or Filters tab
2. Click and drag out an emoji/text, as the user tried/expected in this video: https://youtu.be/Npu6Ouf4FBs?t=2153

Expected behavior
Expect the item to "obey" drag and drop, like GIFs do.
