### Class

# Gtk EmojiChooser

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.EmojiChooser : Gtk.Popover
      implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget, Gtk.Native, Gtk.ShortcutManager {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Used by text widgets to let users insert Emoji characters.

`GtkEmojiChooser` emits the `GtkEmojiChooser::emoji-picked` signal when an Emoji is selected.

# Shortcuts and Gestures

`GtkEmojiChooser` supports the following keyboard shortcuts:

- `Ctrl`+`N` scrolls to the next section.
- `Ctrl`+`P` scrolls to the previous section.
- `Enter` to select the first emoji result.

# Actions

`GtkEmojiChooser` defines a set of built-in actions:

- `scroll.section` scrolls to the next or previous section.

# CSS nodes

    popover
    ├── box.emoji-searchbar
    │   ╰── entry.search
    ╰── box.emoji-toolbar
        ├── button.image-button.emoji-section
        ├── ...
        ╰── button.image-button.emoji-section

Every `GtkEmojiChooser` consists of a main node called popover. The contents of the popover are largely implementation defined and supposed to inherit general styles. The top searchbar used to search emoji and gets the .emoji-searchbar style class itself. The bottom toolbar used to switch between different emoji categories consists of buttons with the .emoji-section style class and gets the .emoji-toolbar style class itself.
