While you can press ctrl + cmd + space
to launch the native emoji keyboard, or select an emoji from newer Mac's touch-bar, sometimes it's fun to build your own!
Here, you can find two demos – the first uses the panel html feature to enable regex filtering of the emojis, whereas the second uses the built in filtering for choices.
While currently the UI's don't match, perhaps in future releases, the same look could be achieved 😄
I've been a fan of emojipedia.org, but now that I learned the mac keyboard shortcut (ctrl + cmd + space
), I might use it more often...
Mac Emoji Keyboard on terminal cursor | Mac Emoji Keyboard supports search |
Mac Emoji Character Viewer Menu | Mac Character Viewer Menu also supports search |
PS. For future work, it could be cool to extend the emoji list (see instructions on node-emoji) to support adding custom emojis.
