Completely useless from many sources where I have to rely on a keyboard for entering passwords.

Most modern OSes feature emoji pickers though

Mac os and windows? I haven't seen it on my Mac but maybe on windows? Those are pretty modern. I haven't seen it in Linux either now that I think of it.

win+. will bring it up in windows

there is a "Characters" app in Gnome that lets you pick emojis

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, macOS has one too.

Ctrl + ; should bring up an emoji picker in Linux when you have focused a text field

What part of the word "Keyboard" did you not understand?

As it said in the document: With a little help from your OS. So I want to log into lemm.ee from another persons computer. I do have not my own keyboard, I neither have my additional drivers or extensions or whatever. Oops. No login.
