(Hoping i am correct) This feature is similar to what we are using presently to type U+XXXX characters. Its global setting. Example: Control+Shift+u followed by unicode character code. control+shift+u + 0915 gives me क Please note, there is already ibus ime available for this.. ibus-rawcode [1] which does this thing. You need to install this, i normally do this when i need to type more unicode characters.
Same way: For typing emoji, we are planning as follows: Example: Control+shift+e followed by 'english word related to emoji' [2] It has bit more complexity compare to Unicode character. User need to type whole word and single word gives you more options of emoji. >From users perspective: If we want to type single Emoji, we can simply type control+shift+e enter emoji and resume typing with current IME. If user want to type many Emoji at a time. Then good to switch (ibus-uniemoji) IME type all characters and switch back to previous IME. So both control+shift+e and ibus-uniemoji has there own importance and uses. I am more inclined and use control+shift+e, since normally with one sentence i use one emoji. Hope it helps :) Thanks, Pravin Satpute 1. https://github.com/pravins/ibus-rawcode 2. http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-annotations.html#frown
