Re: Entering emojis

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

Jonas, I've been experimenting with using transient.el to implement a
new UI for entering emojis.  This works fine except for one major
detail -- it seems like transient doesn't really like lining things up
into columns by their displayed pixel width?

I haven't looked at transient.el internals in details, but extending a
columnar display to variable-pitch circumstances usually isn't a lot of
work: You basically just use window-text-pixel-size to get the width of
the texts, and align with an :align-to display spec.

Have you looked at extending transient this way?
