Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Emoji picker insert fails in Zen/Firefox: Shift+Insert pastes PRIMARY, not clipboardrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 12:10 UTC via poll

What happened

Pressing SUPER+CTRL+E with Zen Browser focused opens the emoji picker fine, but selecting an emoji never inserts it into Zen. The same shortcut works in terminals, Chromium, and editors.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Focus Zen Browser (native Wayland, class zen) with a text field focused (e.g. address bar).
  2. Press SUPER+CTRL+E, pick any emoji.
  3. Nothing is pasted. The emoji is on the clipboard, so manual Ctrl+V works — only the automatic paste fails.

Root cause

omarchy-menu-emoji-insert copies the emoji to the Wayland CLIPBOARD and pastes with wtype Shift+Insert. Firefox-based browsers map Shift+Insert to the PRIMARY selection, not the clipboard, so the paste finds nothing. Verified with wl-paste vs wl-paste --primary.

Same likely applies to Firefox and LibreWolf (Omarchy tags all three firefox-based-browser).

Suggested fix

In omarchy-menu-emoji-insert: copy to both clipboard and primary (wl-copy --primary in addition), and send Ctrl+V (wtype -M ctrl v -m ctrl) when the focused window is Firefox-based, keeping Shift+Insert elsewhere. That is the workaround I run locally and it works in Zen plus all other apps.

System details

  • Omarchy 4.0.2-1, Hyprland 0.56.2 (Wayland), Arch kernel 7.1.9-arch1-2
  • Zen Browser native (/opt/zen-browser-bin/zen-bin, xwayland: 0)

## What happened

Pressing SUPER+CTRL+E with Zen Browser focused opens the emoji picker fine, but selecting an emoji never inserts it into Zen. The same shortcut works in terminals, Chromium, and editors.

## Steps to reproduce

1. Focus Zen Browser (native Wayland, class `zen`) with a text field focused (e.g. address bar).
2. Press SUPER+CTRL+E, pick any emoji.
3. Nothing is pasted. The emoji is on the clipboard, so manual Ctrl+V works — only the automatic paste fails.

## Root cause

`omarchy-menu-emoji-insert` copies the emoji to the Wayland CLIPBOARD and pastes with `wtype Shift+Insert`. Firefox-based browsers map Shift+Insert to the PRIMARY selection, not the clipboard, so the paste finds nothing. Verified with `wl-paste` vs `wl-paste --primary`.

Same likely applies to Firefox and LibreWolf (Omarchy tags all three `firefox-based-browser`).

## Suggested fix

In `omarchy-menu-emoji-insert`: copy to both clipboard and primary (`wl-copy --primary` in addition), and send Ctrl+V (`wtype -M ctrl v -m ctrl`) when the focused window is Firefox-based, keeping Shift+Insert elsewhere. That is the workaround I run locally and it works in Zen plus all other apps.
