# New nifty little features!

You can now middle‑click the preview to discard emojis. They also wrap across multiple rows, making it easier to work with dozens of emojis!

![Demo](demo.gif)

Diacritics are now discarded, you may now search "curaçao" as "curacao"

# Additional packages to install on your system

X11: xdotool is already bundled

Wayland: `wl-copy ydotool`

# Application menu (un)registration

Run the AppImage in command line with argument `--reg` or `-r` to create the desktop file and associated icon

Run the AppImage in command line with argument `--unreg` or `-u` to remove them

# Help, some emojis are too wide!

Your version of Pango, the library that renders text in GTK, doesn't support the version of Unicode `openmoji.csv` file was defined in.

The easiest solution would be checking when was your distro released, and downloading `openmoji.csv` of around that date, then placing it into `~/.config` saved exactly as `openmoji.csv`.

Emoji data is sourced from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji/master/data/openmoji.csv

## Other components

This AppImage bundles multiple third‑party components, each under its own license. The license of this project applies only to the project's own source code and does not cover the AppImage as a whole. Because the AppImage combines software under different and potentially incompatible licenses, it should be treated as a convenience artifact rather than a redistributable package. Anyone modifying or redistributing it should review the licenses of all bundled components to ensure compliance.
