Easily generate QMK macro/leader sequences for arbitrary unicode sequences. The intention here is to be able to use emoticons and emojis in QMK macros (right now only leader key macros are supported) without having to do all the hex conversion and ibus config hackery yourself.

config.toml should include two dictionaries: emotes, and mappings. emotes should be a key/value pair of a name for the emote without spaces (ex. TABLE_FLIP) and the actual emote as a raw TOML string (single-quoted), ex. '(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻')'. mappings should be a key/value pair of one to five key letter codes to be used as the leader sequence and one of the emote names defined in emotes, ex. fca = 'FLAG_CA'.

For now, you'll need to change config.toml in this directory to include whatever you want, and then run either of the following:

# EITHER both of these lines
cargo build --release
./target/release/qmk_emote_macro_generator > emotes.h

# OR both of these lines
docker build -t qmk_emote_macro_generator:latest .
docker run -t qmk_emote_macro_generator > emotes.h

Then, copy emotes.h to your QMK keymap directory, and #include "emotes.h" in your keymap.c. This is a little hacky for now, but I'm working on it.

The Docker image right now needs to be built locally due to the hard path dependency on config.toml, but once the config file can live anywhere, I'll publish the image to Docker Hub and that line will clean up significantly. AUR packages inbound... eventually.
