Michal Bryxí 🌱Things that were obvious design mistakes from <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a>: - <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/TouchBar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TouchBar</a> (not the technology, but the implementation) - Removing <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MagSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MagSafe</a> (people like the convenience of not killing their laptop over tripping cables) - Re-adding MagSafe (without actually addressing the problem that you need a whole new cable to just deliver power) - Square alignment of arrow keys (does this even need a comment?) - Removing the escape key (it's not just nerds) - <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/TouchID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TouchID</a> button that can't visually tell you that it wants your attention (believe it or not, but some people have no effing clue what to do when the TouchID popup pops up) - The contrast of <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DarkMode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkMode</a> on <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSX</a> calendars (eternal shit show of trying to read purple text on a slightly darker purple background) - Everything related to <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/EmojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EmojiPicker</a> (the way it's been buggy for years, the slowness, the non functional fuzzy search, the 3! distinct and horrible ways it works, ...) - <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/iMessage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iMessage</a> as a whole (anyone who is a tiny bit critical can't stand this piece of UX hell)

Aral BalkanRelated little typographical tidbit:If you want to enter the symbol for the command key, it’s known as the “place of interest sign” and you can enter it via the emoji picker by searching for “place”.<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mac</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/command" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#command</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/key" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#key</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/placeOfInterestSign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#placeOfInterestSign</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unicode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/emojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojiPicker</a>

Aral BalkanIf you’re on a Mac and you want to change the keyboard shortcut for showing the emoji picker, e.g., to ⌘E, you can do so from Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts… → App Shortcuts → All Applications.Press the + button to add a shortcut and, in the Menu title textbox, enter (exactly):Emoji & SymbolsHit Done and you’re, umm, done.This is useful when using a non-Apple external keyboard and ⌘^space is too verbose.<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emoji</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/emojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojiPicker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keyboard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/shortcut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shortcut</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/keyboardShortcut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keyboardShortcut</a>

Michal Bryxí 🌱Years ago I was genuinely excited by <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSX</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/EmojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EmojiPicker</a>. There was nothing like that on <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> or <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>. Many years fast forward and I'm really sad about the state of things:1) The emoji picker did not evolve. At all. It's still super slow. It's still really bad at fuzzy search. It's still trying to (incorrectly) guess what set of emojis are important. 2) They added an incredibly bad <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> addition of inline emoji picker expanding on current word that: 2.1) Implements an anti-pattern of being invoked through the same keyboard shortcut. Sometimes, based on if there is a match or not. So I never know which action will happen. 2.2) Needs to be explicitly invoked via said shortcut. So I never know if my phrase will bring a match or not, until I press the sequence. Bringing so much extra typing. 3) Over the years they just bluntly ignored (typical <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a>) the industry standard of `:apple` emoji invocation that would just fix both 2.1 and 2.2.<a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MakeEmojiPickerOnOsxGreatAgain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakeEmojiPickerOnOsxGreatAgain</a>

papiris<a href="https://cosocial.ca/@evan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@evan</a> Basically never, because that's an extra tap-and-hold at least. I've almost stopped using emojis because <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/emojipicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojipicker</a> on KDE shows every skin color for each emoji by default, and that's... less than ideal. 'sides, mastomojis are cooler :ablobfoxbongo:

rugkI don't see a big reason why you would use that on mobile phones with good emoji pickers already, but, heck, theoretically even my <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AwesomeEmojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AwesomeEmojiPicker</a> extension is compatible with Firefox for Android now!😅<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/awesome-emoji-picker/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=mastodon&utm_content=mastodon-android-firefox-toot3&utm_campaign=mastodon-android-firefox-toot" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/awesome-emoji-picker/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=mastodon&utm_content=mastodon-android-firefox-toot3&utm_campaign=mastodon-android-firefox-toot</a><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/emoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emoji</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/emojiPicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojiPicker</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/firefox4android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefox4android</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/firefoxForAndroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firefoxForAndroid</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mozilla</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unicode</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/utf8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#utf8</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/encoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#encoding</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/browserExtension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browserExtension</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/browserAddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browserAddon</a>

Interestingly this key binding does not work on my Manjaro GNOME install. Anyway, what I was looking for was a way to have the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gtk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gtk</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/emojipicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojipicker</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/systemwide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemwide</a> which seems to be impossible by design for non GTK apps.

Amadeus PaulussenIs there a way in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gnome</a> 44 to make ctrl+. invoke the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/emojipicker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emojipicker</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/systemwide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemwide</a> and not just in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gtk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gtk</a> apps?

FediTips has moved!Do you wish there was a way to type your favourite emoji without stopping to use the picker?✅ In Mastodon, you can choose an emoji directly by typing : (colon) and then a keyword or name of the emoji you want.For example, :sun will bring up all the emoji containing the word "sun".
