I’m on KDE Plasma using wayland, and I’m annoyed with KDE’s emoji picker. Well, the interface is fine, I just want emojis to immediately be pasted into the text field that was in focus when I used the shortcut to launch the emoji picker. Basically I want the behavior to be as close to the Windows emoji picker as possible.
Does anyone know of an alternative that allows me to quickly type 2 different emojis in succession? Bonus points when it’s easily available on arch.

I made my own using wofi, https://github.com/deifyed/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_local%2Fbin%2Fexecutable_emoji_prompt
Doesn’t auto insert though, but puts it in the clipboard. Paste as many times as you need. If you figure out how to get it to insert into the focused application, do let me know 😁
I use
ibus-uniemoji, and I settled with this years ago after trying to find a similar replacement coming from Windows as you.After install just set up a keyboard shortcut to quickly change between input languages, and you can just type your emojis effortlessly. As it’s an input method it doesn’t matter what DE you use. Demo gif from Github:
