There are various ways to input emoji (emoticons) in applications.
There are two main ways to input emoji.
- using the native GUI toolkit support
- using ibus support
GNOME
Gtk 3 and 4 generally support Emoji input via Ctrl+Period (Ctrl-.), which brings up an emoji chooser UI.
In almost any application (eg browsers) you can also use ibus Emoji input:
- To activate ibus Emoji mode:
- in Fedora 37 and later press Super+Period
- in Fedora 36 and earlier press Ctrl+Period (Ctrl-.)
- Then an "e" prompt appears.
- Either enter a keyword in pre-edit and then space to see candidates
- or press Space to bring up the Emoji selector.
Note that the ibus emoji input is not available in Live images (see bug).
KDE
Qt supports Emoji input via Super+Period (Win-.).
LibreOffice
Sometimes monochrome emoji are preferred to colored emoji.
