Expandable and customizable dmenu virtual keyboard for GNU/Linux with Emoji, Copypasta, Swedish/Finnish, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Baybain, and Arabic letter support.
This project has moved. dboard can now be found here.
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.
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.
- 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
- 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.
(boxes because my fonts are a bit weird)
