What's new

Collection sidebar

A new slide-in sidebar lets you switch between symbol collections without leaving the keyboard. Open it with the menu button or close it with Esc. Selecting a collection loads it instantly and dismisses the sidebar automatically.

Built-in collections:

• 😀 Emojis — full Unicode emoji set with categories and aliases
• :-) Emoticons — classic text-based emoticons
• ↔ Arrows — all Unicode arrow variants
• ∑ Mathematical symbols — operators, relations, Greek letters, and more
• $ Currency symbols — global currency signs
• ! Special symbols — punctuation, dingbats, and miscellaneous glyphs

CLI collection flags

Launch directly into any collection from the terminal:

omniglyph               # defaults to Emoji
omniglyph --emoji
omniglyph --emoticons
omniglyph --arrows
omniglyph --math
omniglyph --currency
omniglyph --special
omniglyph --hieroglyphs

Useful for keybindings — bind omniglyph --math to a shortcut and jump straight to symbols without touching the sidebar.
