Why the popup does not work for you.
It's not a workaround but a common solution with Linux and Macintosh.
I don't think overlapping text applications with the popup since the emoji
dialog output a few chars and is not used frequently.
I've already explained the reasons why the popup doesn't work for me:
* it pops up behind the application into which I'm typing
* it steals focus away from my application (which triggers undesirable behavior
in some applications)
* it does not match the look and feel of my GNOME/GTK3 theme
You're free to have your own opinion about whether these are significant (or
even a downgrade) from the functionality which existed in F25... but I'm not
trying to have a debate... I'm just trying to provide feedback. In aggregate,
these issues make this feature undesirable to me and I won't use it because of
them.
As for whether or not it is used frequently... I think you should not make
assumptions about users workflows. Further, even if it is infrequently used...
each individual has their own level of tolerance for these issues. I've already
explained that it is it enough to make me avoid the feature... but you're free
to have a different tolerance level. I'm just providing feedback from my
perspective. If you don't want to account for my perspective, fine... but I
suspect I'm not alone.
I don't agree with your suggestion at present.
I didn't make a suggestion. I explained what worked for me, and I explained why
(it's much closer to the original behavior, which I found to be more convenient
than the popup). It's not a suggestion for anybody else... though others may
find it to be something worth adopting as a workaround for themselves.
I don't think overlapping the text applications with the dialog
is a critical problem.
You're free to have that opinion... but I will avoid the feature because of it,
and stick to toggling the typing booster on/off instead... because:
* there is no additional window which steals focus
* there is no hidden dialog box underneath my application
* there is no disruption to the look-and-feel
* I can quickly and efficiently use shortcut keys to enter what I need without
interrupting my workflow or touching my mouse
