Hackerskeyboard: Add support for android 4.1 and up emoji font

Created on 22 Jan 2016  Â·  14Comments  Â·  Source: klausw/hackerskeyboard

The summary pretty sums up this; it can be a pain to have to toggle back and 
forth between the dafault keyboard and Hacker's, and I'd rather not get a 
different keyboard since this is so awesome.

As mentioned elsewhere, ☺ (only ?) is supported by compose,:,), but the rest 
would great, also.…

Also, if any emoji / emoticons are added to the suggested punctuation bar, 
they're completely nonfunctional.

Yes please, I would totally appreciated some emoji support.

Yes awesome emoji

Are there any news on this? Because being able to access emojis whenever I want is the only reason I'm still using AOSP keyboard (which came preinstalled, obviously, but it's 45 Mb!). And I love almost everything else about Hacker's Keyboard.

+1

This is probably the one feature that I most want. NextApp's keyboard is the only other one I've found that has CTRL & ALT keys, which I've become dependent on so much that asking me to live without them is like asking a Linux user to start exclusively using Windows. lol. Anyway, they do have the emoji button, but they seem to have abandoned their keyboard and they don't have a compact layout like this one, which makes it extremely difficult to use on my tiny, 4.5" budget phone screen.

:+1:

Missing this feature is one of reason I'm considering switching to something else.

:+1: I support this feature request

Yes, please add this - even if as a fork that isn't on the Play Store. I, too, hate the tediousness of having to switch to/from the AOSP keyboard when I want to send emoji.

You could also add a "raw Unicode" - you can input hex data and it writes it as a character.

Totally gonna remember all emojis in hex code. It's not like I can barely remember the one I just wanted to send...

@szymonwalle You're taking the issues title rather verbatim. You can also copy-n-paste emojis, enter emojies by switching keyboards (while typing) and so on. For me (and I guess most supporters here) the issue ist not the _font_, I'am rather interested in a build-in emoji _selector_.

Yes please! Emoji support would be awesome! \o/

Here's a guide that could help to include emoji layout in hacker keyboard:
