Me trying to activate 1password with Ctrl + . (control + period; control + dot) in Firefox on Fedora Silverblue: “why do I get an underlined e?”

Turns out it’s the default Intelligent Input Bus (IBus) binding for “insert emoji”.

It’s kinda cool – a compose key (ar.al/2018/07/18/typographical…) for emoji – but it conflicts with 1password.

To change or disable it, run ibus-setup in Terminal.

ctrl+shift+u was set to insert unicode characters so I changed mine to ctrl+shift+e for emoji for consistency.


Typographical typing habits for Linux

Many of our bad habits date back to the limitations of typewriters. Typography lends us the voice that the written word takes away from us. Good typography makes your message accessible and comprehensible and strengthens its intent.

Sadly, the IBus ctrl + . shortcut for inserting emoji also conflicts with GNOME’s ctrl + . shortcut for *drumroll* inserting emoji. So, when GNOME is being used, the distribution should really disable or change the IBus shortcut as GNOME’s graphical emoji picker overlay is far superior to the IBus’s.

Also, I think I’m going to end up changing 1Password’s shortcut as I want to be able to use the GNOME emoji picker popover on web forms too.
