Something I have noticed is that while I did originally handle opening launcher with specific text working fine in most cases, more complex layouts like with the navbar started making things a bit finicky with IPC to open.
Would open with incorrect sizing as it still transitioned from the usual applist, later I got it to where it would open but freeze in the middle of the animation and skip to final height.

The latter I managed to rework a bit to where it would only do so sometimes, and the only working attempt to fix that was to add a retarget timer, which effectively just waits to animate in those edgecases.
I tried a few other approaches with states and bindings, but quickly got messy

i desperately needed this thanks for implementing @PixelKhaos, it works perfectly!

However could we store the pinnedClipboardItems and frequentEmojis in some file in .local/state instead of the main config file?
The reason for this is on distros with a read only fs (nixos) every time i copy an emoji it gives me an error due to how nixos manages things

Another thing is the ipc cmd, i think instead of having one for clipboard and another for emoji, we could just have 1 that would accept a string argument that will open the launcher pre-filled with the input. this would make keybinds for the launcher more customizable

Other than this, thanks again! i will be using your fork until its merged to main haha

That I can look into yeah, I was using the json because it's all a pretty limited list of id's etc and easy way of storing it, but absolutely makes sense to store elsewhere as a temp.

You mean allowing a bind like caelestia shell emoji get tomato?
Pretty decent idea, a bit extra but doesn't hurt, though I can't see any reason for it

no sir, i meant something like caelestia shell launcher >emoji
then that will open up the launcher and prefill it with >emoji

so they can use with other launcher modules
caelestia shell launcher >clipboard
caelestia shell launcher >calc

no sir, i meant something like caelestia shell launcher >emoji

Oh you mean so it's in place to be useful for other/new launcher actions!
That would essentially just be generalizing the two I got yeah, solid idea

@chea-vuthearith combined the two IPCs into one launcherHandler,
which CustomShortcut uses it like launcherHandler.action("emoji")

launcherHandler includes open, toggle and action. Action is the same as toggle, just including the prefix from config, and Open doesn't toggle launcher off if pressed again.

e.g., caelestia shell launcher open browser opens with a standard search
caelestia shell launcher toggle ">variant " to write the entire string out, needs space for actions.
or caelestia shell launcher action variant

launcherHandler includes open, toggle and action. Action is the same as toggle, just including the prefix from config, and Open doesn't toggle launcher off if pressed again.

Awesome work @PixelKhaos thanks

I noticed another thing, after i selected something in the clipboard menu and open it up again it seems the selected idx doesnt reset but +1 from the prev

so initially selected idx is 0
open clipboard and selects something

now its 1
repeat

now its 2 and so on

Oh right, because we move the copied item to the top as it's the latest entry
But yeah, it should reset the current index back to 0

Hope im not being too annoying HAHA. but i noticed another thing, when using keyboard to navigate the clipboard menu, previews for the images dont show up

It should, but you may have your mouse hovering an item at the same time, so when the list shifts it might count the mouse as the last interaction method

Ah yes, you're correct. false alarm then

Fixed transitioning between emoji picker and clipboard history when using IPC to toggle each, now holds the height during transitioning contents and then adjusts height instead of animating back to 0 because there's no content.

Moved clipboard nav bar to transition along with list rather than it's own height, and overall a stab at getting multiple different layouts/UI to play nicer within the launcher
