Re: [Evolution] Some Questions Pertaining to Evolution

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

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.





[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep "Shift+Ctrl" -A 5 ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml 
    <!-- Shift+Ctrl -->
    <keybind key="S-C-S">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>schar</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Ralf
