Or .. use vim Unicode "Hover" to name. Search is available, not live though

What are you meaning by “hover”? All I know of is ga (a.k.a. the misnamed :ascii), which tells you the decimal, hex and octal for the Unicode scalar values, but doesn’t give you a name. Oh, are you meaning https://github.com/chrisbra/unicode.vim https://github.com/chrisbra/unicode.vim?

  Yes to chrisbra. Wish I could live search

    fzf-vim's :BLines¹ can enable a live search for most basic needs. For example, something like unicode.vim's :UnicodeTable, followed by :BLines, then yl to grab the char. Note: I'm only pointing this out in the general case of wanting a live search on some data, because uni and the provided uni.vim seem to be a far better solution anyway. ¹ https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

  Uni started life as a replacement to that plugin (note how how the output is similar) as I got tired of opening Vim all the time :-)

    But it opens instantly! And zz to close

      Not as "instant" as dmenu, the searching is kinda awkward and not emoji-aware, and you can't use it in pipes.

        Ctrl-p like functionality wouldn't be too difficult... But I see your point
        Carpetsmoker 7y ago
        Yeah, you can do a lot with it. One of the (unstated) ideas behind uni is that it can work as a backend for a lot of different integrations: dmenu, Vim, fzf, Emacs, a more domain-specific emoji picker GUI, etc. Other than this, the feature set is roughly similar. The biggest difference is that uni knows how to deal with emoji sequences.

        I am open for suggestions on how to make the search work better.

Kitty has something like this built in too: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/unicode-input.html https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/unicode-input.html
