There's a new repository

This project has moved. dboard can now be found here.

What is this?

dboard is a dmenu "keyboard" that opens a menu (dmenu) prompt with a list of characters. When the user selects one, it is automatically copied to the clipboard using xclip. You can then paste it anywhere you want.

Motivation

Luke Smith's version only works with emojis, and flag emojis (and other emojis that have multiple characters) are broken because of the way it was written. Therefore I made a (in my opinion) better version which also has more emojis that weren't present in the original board.

What does it support?

  • Emojis (yes, even colored ones)
  • Copypasta (comes with two RMS quotes)
  • Swedish/Finnish characters
  • Spanish characters
  • Chinese characters
  • Japanese characters
  • Baybain characters
  • Arabic characters
  • Romanian characters

Installation

  • Download the script and put it in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or any other place that's defined in your $PATH variable.
  • Make sure to patch dmenu with this patch and install libXft-bgra. Otherwise dmenu will either crash or not display the fonts
  • Make sure to install a color font (such as JoyPixels, Noto Emoji) and define it in config.h (or config.def.h)
  • Make sure xclip is installed and running on startup.
  • If you want notifications, make sure libnotify is installed.
