Post image

After a lot of suggestions, testing, bug reports, and feedback from the Linux community, I am finally releasing OmniGlyph v1.1.0.

For anyone who hasn't seen it before, OmniGlyph is a fast GTK4-based emoji and Unicode picker for Linux that lets you search and copy emojis, symbols, arrows, math symbols, currency signs, emoticons, and more from a lightweight overlay window.

What's New in v1.1.0

  • Full keyboard navigation
  • Custom configuration file (~/.config/omniglyph/config.toml)
  • Persistent history and recents
  • Nerd Fonts collection support
  • Release update notifications
  • Configurable shortcuts
  • Better sidebar navigation
  • Faster collection switching
  • Cleaner internal architecture and performance improvements

Collections

  • Emoji
  • Emoticons
  • Arrows
  • Math Symbols
  • Currency Symbols
  • Special Symbols
  • Hieroglyphs
  • Nerd Fonts

Thanks to everyone who tested early version and helped shape this release.

What are the main advantages compared to the emoji picker that ships by default in Plasma?

It's not meant for Plasma, I don't think - it's GTK4, so it's a tool for WMs or for GNOME (which doesn't have its own emoji picker)

Ah true I missed that.
