Default emojis are always sorted on top

[lamduong33]

Hello,

I'm running rofimoji 6.7.0 on Arch Linux. When I run rofimoji --max-recent 0 -no-frecency -match, there is a list of emojis that always show up no matter what, even if I search for whatever string. I can't take a screenshot, but if I type in "lkdasjflaskdjflaksjdflkajsdflkjasd", those 5 emojis are always on top. Even if I type in "zany", for example, those 5 emojis will be on top of zany face emoji. What might be causing this? Thanks!

Which emojis are these? Which selector do you use? And what is -match supposed to do? My rofimoji won't even start with that flag.

Have you ever used frecency, or do you have custom characters configured?

Could you please share the requested information, @lamduong33 ? Otherwise, I'll close this ticket as I have no way of reproducing it.

Hi, for some reason, I can't take a screen shot when the rofi menu is up, but the following emojis will always be present and will be the first option:

• 😃: grinning face with big eyes
• 😄: grinning face with smiling eyes
• 😆: grinning squinting face
• 🤣: rolling on the floor laughing
• 🙂: slightly smiling face

They always appear in this order. Here are some test cases:

Case 1: Let's say my search string is "rolling", the above order of emojis still persists, but the text "rolling" is highlighted and underscored for the 🤣 emoji selection.

Case 2: If I type in "zany", these emojis will still be the first results, then at the bottom, the "zany" emoji 🤪 shows up, but I have to go through the above 5 emojis first.

Case 3: If I type in "ldasjkflaksjdflkjad", these emojis will still be the first results.

I think the -match flag was used in an older version. This is my updated command to running rofimoji: rofimoji --max-recent 0 --no-frecency --selector rofi --selector-args "<-matching-method prefix>" to no avail.

I'm using rofi v2.0.0-dirty as my selector and noto-fonts-emoji 1:2.051-1 as my emoji fonts package

The same call works for me, filtering the characters as expected. Do you have custom character lists defined somewhere?

I'm having a behaviour that does not exactly match this issue description, but could be related.

rofimoji version: 6.7.0-1 OS: Arch Linux Kernel: 6.17.7-arch1-2

rofimoji -f "~/character_selection.csv" -r ">"

Contents of ~/character_selection.csv:

Á capital a with acute
É capital e with acute
Í capital i with acute
Ñ capital n with tilde
Ó capital o with acute
Ú capital u with acute
á small a with acute
é small e with acute
í small i with acute
ñ small n with tilde
ó small o with acute
ú small u with acute
° Degree Sign
º Masculine Ordinal Indicator

As seen on the image below, even when I write the exact text associated to capital e with acute the best matching entry does not go to the top of the list.

I can open a different issue you need me to.

Yes, @LoisSotoLopez, that does sound like a different issue. I assume that rofi keeps the original order since all entries are within a small editing distance of each other. You could try to pass a different -sorting-method to it.

Thx, just for the record this solved my problem: rofimoji --selector-args="-sort -sorting-method fzf"

@lamduong33, I still can't reproduce it. Do you have custom character lists defined?
