Some questions and feature ideas

[cptvincer]

Fantastic, more features then i knew i wanted- got it for emojis and theres so much more...

Question: is there a way to keep the window open or minimize/maximize? The app start a tad slower then i often need in a pinch, theres not many aliases (finding an emoji by similar words) and many new emojis i wouldnt even knew how to find but scrolling... on selecting an emoji to apply the window auto-closes- and after that is another slow startup and the list back at the top

And if not possible those are my main suggestions:
-options for not closing, always on top
-being able to minimize to taskbar

Thanks for opening the first issue!

May I ask on what platform/hardware are you finding the app slow to start?

You can view all aliases in a tooltip if you hover over an emoji, and you can assign custom emoji aliases (please don't trip over the wild joke 🙏).

I think I understand your two feature requests perfectly as both already came up in beta:

• Use an intermediate buffer to be able to paste several emojis in sequence.
  Or, alternatively, a paste-and-stay-open behavior, but this may be harder to achieve reliably on all platforms due to all the async messaging to/from the window manager. In either case, accompanied by a related keybind, such as Ctrl+Enter.
• Use a background app/daemon/systray agent to alleviate slow startup.
  In my testing so far, the app was ready in under <500ms (measured with --debug) on both Linux and macOS on some decent old hardware. So I figured, why keep a daemon if a popup can do. Slow startup on Windows I attributed to Microsoft and VirtualBox, but I guess not so?

Yup im o windows 10. Ryzen 5 3600, 16 ram. Might be something on how microsoft handles things.
Thats why i sugested some form of 'minimize'- it wouldnt eliminate the delay, only shift things so it happens only once (first startup in a session) instead of every time

being able to minimize to taskbar

Minimizing app to taskbar (instead of closing app) would be good.

There is PR #11 if any of you want to help/test it. It works for me on X11 but currently seems to crash on Windows. You can download built artifacts here on the checks page.

I just tried to install DEB - there is issue that nightly build has a lower version than last release:

Error: A later version is already installed.

If remove stable — it installs, but there is another issue:
