Get Emojis when you need them
Emojicomplete is an extension for Hammerspoon. Once Hammerspoon is installed (see install Hammerspoon below) you can run the following script to install Emojicomplete.
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PatrickAuld/EmojiComplete/master/install.sh | bash
install.sh just clones this repository into ~/.hammerspoon, loads it into Hammerspoon and sets ⌃⌥⌘G as the default keybinding.
$ git clone https://github.com/PatrickAuld/EmojiComplete.git ~/.hammerspoon/emojicomplete
To initialize, add to ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua (creating it if it does not exist):
local emojicomplete = require "emojicomplete/emojicomplete"
emojicomplete.registerDefaultBindings()
Alternatively, copy emojicomplete.lua from this repository to wherever
you keep other Hammerspoon modules and load it appropriately.
Reload the Hammerspoon config.
Hammerspoon can be installed using homebrew/caskroom.
$ brew cask install hammerspoon
$ open -a /Applications/Hammerspoon.app
Accessibility must be enabled for Emojicomplete to work.
Trigger with the hotkey ⌃⌥⌘E. Once you start typing, suggestions will populate.
They can be choosen with ⌘1-9 or by pressing the arrow keys and Enter.
Pressing ⌘C copies the selected item to the clipboard.
The hotkey can be changed by passing in arguments to
registerDefaultBindings call (in your ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua file)
such as:
emojicomplete.registerDefaultBindings({"cmd", "ctrl"}, 'L')
This uses Emoji Finder for searching.
The code was forked from Anycomplete a great project that uses Google Autocomplete.
