[FR] Allow multiple character lists to be specified as separate modi
For example, I'd like to have Unicode character search in addition to the emoji view, without having to load all tables and pollute the emoji search.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to use rofimoji multiple times as a rofi mode? If so, that should already be possible.
I mean using rofimoji itself, since some of its features don't work when using it as a rofi mode, and I want to have it on a separate keybinding anyway.
Okay... you want to search through all of Unicode, but show only emojis at first? Did I get that right?
Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible. You can specify emoji first, for example files = [emoji, braille, arabic] to show emoji first. But I don't think rofi can dynamically load more entries in dmenu mode.
I was thinking about having separate tabs as separate modi, e.g. "emoji" and "unicode" mode.
It seems that you cannot have tabs in rofi when using the dmenu mode (which rofimoji uses). One alternative would be to use rofimoji as a rofi mode, but then you lose some capabilities.
Would something like the file selector described in #126 help? Or can you describe in more detail what annoys you when you just have everything in one go?
I personally wouldn't be satisfied with it.
Most of the time, I just want to paste an emoji in, and don't need any other characters polluting the menus, and I don't want to need an extra keypress for the default usecase.
It's not a high priority issue, it'd just be nice to be able to paste in or look up arbitrary Unicode in a convenient way.
After having looked at this, I unfortunately haven't found a (sensible) way to dynamically fetch more characters into rofi or to use modi in dmenu mode, sorry.
Not-quite-as-comfortable-but-working solutions would be a second config on a different shortcut, or loading the relevant files for you in a reasonable order. Also, the characters are ordered by frecency, so after some time, your most used should be first.
Understandable, thanks for considering my proposal and communicating well :)
