Arch linux: rofimoji does not copy/paste/insert selected emoji on KDE and Wayland

See original GitHub issue

I used X11 previously and it worked fine. Since I switched to a new graphic card I can now use Wayland and now I cannot use rofimoji anylonger. I searched quite some time across internet and also here in closed bugs, and tried lots of things, but nothing works.

I have a shortcut on KDE to open a script:

#!/bin/zsh

rofimoji --action clipboard --clipboarder wl-copy

This then shows rofimoji, where I can select any emoji and then nothing happens. It is not in clipboard, I cannot paste it via ctrl+v, it is not typed directly. I tested it in various windows: kwrite, yakuake, firefox, libreoffice writer

I also changed options how to call rofimoji. I feel a bit stupid, as it is always stated that it works out of the box…

I saw that some suggested to use wtype, but this fails on konsole with: $ wtype 23
Compositor does not support the virtual keyboard protocol

Many thanks for this great project!

Thanks, but I only guess, since I’m still on Xorg 😉

Feel free to open a new ticket and describe your problem there, @asklow 🙂

@asklow I have no real experience. @fdw did all and I “only” tested it.
