💡 How to make custom shorcut hotkey?

[amdid0]

Describe the feature

The readme says that custom shortcuts can be customized. However, there are no instructions on how to do it. Can you teach me how to customize this and call up this awesome emoji mart with a keyboard shortcut?

An idea of implementation

Hi @amdid0 , I am not sure on which platform you are, but in the readme there is a expandable field to explain how to do this in gnome shell:

👣 More info on defining shortcuts in GNOME Shell here

Go to Settings > Keyboard > View and Customize Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts

Or you can do it from the terminal, but you will need to adapt it if you already have existing custom shortcuts registered

# Check existing shortcuts list:
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings

# Create shortcut 0 triggered with Super+E
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings "['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/]"
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ name 'Emoji Mart'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ command 'flatpak run io.github.vemonet.EmojiMart'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding '<Super>e'

It will be different depending on the OS you use but a quick internet search / question to a LLM would solve this easily and will always provide an up-to-date solution. All you need then is to bind your shortcut to the command flatpak run io.github.vemonet.EmojiMart
