So, sure, "recently > used" would be useful, but we need something more than textual search in > addition. IOS is similar to what you described, and the first block is "recents" and there's a search field. So it covers all of the above. insert-char can be used, but I agree it would be nice if there was a command that limited the completion table to just emoji. I do like the idea of a transient for selecting variants. -- Howard
