I just realized that if for any reason I need to insert emojis in a project, there is a pretty fast and easy way to do it.
On Windows the keyboard shortcut Win+. opens the Emoji Picker and you can use it to display simple monochrome emojis with a Text filter. Win+; works too
On a Mac, using Ctrl+Cmd+Space OR Fn+E opens the Character Viewer, which includes emojis and other symbols. I don’t own a Mac, so I couldn’t test if it works though.
Hope this is helpful for those who, like me, live under a rock and didn’t already know that trick.
That is cool, @musicalbox. New to me. Great, I can now use it for emails too. Shame they don’t come out coloured in Shotcut, though…
Another cool idea. I have enabled the touch keyboard. Thanks for the tip, @SergeC .
PS That makes three things I learned so far today. The other is that solder is actually almost 100% tin (Sn) with just a tiny bit of copper (Cu). I digress, though…
I’ll digress too…
What are you soldering? Plumbing or electronics?
For electronics I’m still using lead based solder, despite the alledeged environmental and health issues. It’s easier to work with than lead-free solder: Lower melting point, better flow and better joints.
I’ve tried SnCu lead-free solder and didn’t like it at all.
But there are other types, like tin-silver (SnAg) and tin-silver-copper (SnAgCu) that are supposed to be better. I just ordered a small spool of SnAgCu to test it.
So thanks for the digression @jonray. Because of it, I may learn something else new too
