Tiny fun one now that JUCE 8 supports emoji. Would be cool to pop open the macOS emoji picker (native apps usually bind this to ctrl-cmd-space).
Apparently can be done via a call to orderFrontCharacterPalette.
Not sure if anything needs to be done explicitly by an app to support this.
I usually use the Fn key to open it (I don’t think I consciously configured that at some point), and Ctrl-Cmd-Space works as well.
In a JUCE Standalone plugin, a quick test here shows that Fn works, while Ctrl-Cmd-Space doesn’t. Could it be that the latter is simply swallowed by some key handling logic?
Ah right, the globe key! It looks like both that machine and my laptop had the globe/fn key set to “Do Nothing” in settings. Not sure if that’s the default.
I’m also usually on a desktop machine with a keyboard that doesn’t have that key…
the latter is simply swallowed by some key handling logic?
Hmm, cmd-space (spotlight) works (not trapped by the app). It might be up to the native app to implement cmd-ctrl-space for orderFrontCharacterPalette (for example, Logic doesn’t implement it).
