I have family visiting so this is another short post. Charles Choi has an interesting tip for Emacs emoji users on macOS. I rarely use emojis anywhere but in texts so I wasn’t aware of Emacs facilities for choosing emojis. It turns out that emoji-list will work on any Emacs installation but that there’s a better system on macOS. That’s ns-do-show-character-palette, which pops up the usual macOS emoji picker.
If you use it a lot, it makes sense to bind it to a key sequence shortcut. Choi prefers to do this sort of thing from the menu system but, sadly, ns-do-show-character-palette is not in the Edit menu by default. It is, however, easy to add it and Choi’s post shows us how to do that.
If you like to add emojis to your emails, say, you use something like Mu4e or one of the other Emacs Emacs clients, and you’re on macOS you will probably find Choi’s post useful.
