What is it?

This is a simple emoji picker for Linux. It is made with GTK4 and Rust. It has the following features you might be looking for in an emoji picker:

• Search for emojis
• Recently used emojis
• Picking skin tone variants

More Features?

Check the Issues tab. I kinda use it as a to-do list.

Installation

You may have dependency issues if you just compile it immediately. A brief installation guide is included in this blog post.

Dumb stuff

• The name comes from the shortcut most emoji pickers use: Win + . (dot)
  • It's pronounced "who the hell cares how it's pronounced"
• I created this project to learn GTK and to make my own little emoji picker because Emote wouldn't register my clicks sometimes for some reason.
