Change Emoji annotation shorcut key

[fujiwarat]

The current Emoji annotation shortcut key is Ctrl-Shift-e by default to follow the Unicode code point key Ctrl-Shift-u.

MS-Windows 10 provides Super-. key to enable Emoji typing.

MacOS provides Command-Shift-space key to enable Emoji typing.

Probably IBus will change the current Ctrl-Shift-e to Super-. key while GTK now provides Ctrl-. key.

MS-Windows provides Alt key to enable Unicode codepoint but probably I'd think Emoji typing only at the moment.

According to the desktop & IM meeting, IBus will follow Ctrl-period to GTK instead of Super-period.

How can I change the shortcut <ctrl-.> to others?

You can use gsettings, or the simpler way: the settings menu in the ibus tray icon.

$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey
$ gsettings set org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey \[\'\<Control\>\<Shift\>e\'\]

Thanks, it works for me!

Hello,

Was that tested on keymap where the period has not its own key?

On my (Belgian) French Keyboard, <CTRL>+period is not working because the period requires shift to be pressed as well

This is breaking out of the box experience :(
