Emoji picker for keyboard

[Okani]

Hiya!

People have been very content with the new Laz keyboard so far, thank you so much for your support!

That being said, especially iOS users seem upset about the lack of emojis in places like WhatsApp.

My question is: is there a way to create an emoji-picker key that directly triggers WhatsApp’s emoji list?

Best wishes,

Okan

Hi again @Okani,

Thank you for asking! Currently, Keyman Developer doesn’t support that. But you can customize your own keyboard by using Unicode range for emoticons (U+1F600 - U+1F64F) and include emoticons on each key as shown in the picture.

There’re two related feature requests at:

• [iOS] Feature request: emoji keyboard · Issue #905 · keymanapp/keyman · GitHub and
• feat(android): Android shortcut to Emoji keyboard · Issue #6176 · keymanapp/keyman · GitHub.

So let’s track the progress there.

Have a nice day!
