Vim like navigation

[paulfrische]

I would really like to have some sort of vim like navigation keybinds, because I am very used to them and for the flex. I really like this application.
PS: I use Arch btw

sure, just name the keybinds you want (i don't use vim) and i'll fix something up 👽

maybe something like ctr plus h, j, k or l for navigating the emoji list and some sort of vi(m) mode for the search field. I think I found a lib which solves the second problem here. One problem could be that vi(m) uses ESC to go back to normal mode. Maybe a toml file located in .config could be used to opt-in vim like stuff(so when it is on, every key including ESC will be used and the user has to kill the program with some wm keybind). I do not have much experience with C++ but I definitely wanna try to build smth like this and contribute a PR.
Have a great day!

Hi @GaZaTu, thank you for the emoji tool!
I'd add +1 for the vim keybinding. I rarely use arrows.
A more generic solution could be if the config file had some section for the keybinding customization. What do you think? 🤔 <--- I placed this emoji with x11-emoji-picker :D
