Haha, the original mail with the wrong date didn't came through the list. Here it is again, now with a resized picture: Hi, I hit on an idea. You could assign a shortcut to a script to get emoticons for coping and pasting. If I push Shift+Ctrl+S when in Evolutions editor window, I get the window shown by the attached screenshot. With the mouse I could copy an emoticon and paste it into Evolution's editor window. You simply could copy and paste the below script. Save it as /usr/local/bin/schar and make it executable by running sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/schar [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/schar #!/bin/dash # /usr/local/bin/schar Ralf Mardorf 2017-03-22 special_characters() { cat<<EOF Use Shift+Ctrl+U or copy and paste 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F U+1F60x 😀 😁 😂 😃 😄 😅 😆 😇 😈 😉 😊 😋 😌 😍 😎 😏 U+1F61x 😐 😑 😒 😓 😔 😕 😖 😗 😘 😙 😚 😛 😜 😝 😞 😟 U+1F62x 😠 😡 😢 😣 😤 😥 😦 😧 😨 😩 😪 😫 😬 😭 😮 😯 U+1F63x 😰 😱 😲 😳 😴 😵 😶 😷 😸 😹 😺 😻 😼 😽 😾 😿 U+1F64x 🙀 🙁 🙂 🙃 🙄 🙅 🙆 🙇 🙈 🙉 🙊 🙋 🙌 🙍 🙎 🙏 EOF } zenity --warning --title="special characters" --width=800 --height=100 --no-wrap --text="$(special_characters)" exit I don't know how to assign shortcuts to a script for GNOME, but for openbox I only need to add the following to the rc file.
