Qmoji

A lightning fast emoji picker for macos, written in swift

Features

  • dark mode support
  • shows up instantly (no slow animation)
  • customizable shortcut
  • fuzzy matching on emoji name & keywords
  • remembers most frequently used emojis
  • option to display at mouse cursor
  • tiny disk size (under 3mb)
  • easy on the ram (under 50mb)

Troubleshooting

After upgrading (or rebuilding locally), be sure to go to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and re-authorize qmoji! uncheck & check the box, otherwise it won't be able to send characters to other applications.

Inspired by the excellent mojibar.

Installation

  • go to the releases page
  • download qmoji.zip & unzip it
  • right-click qmoji.app & select "open" (because it's not signed, double-clicking won't work the first time)
  • you should see a 🙃 in your statusbar
  • if you want to use the default shortcut (cmd+opt+space), you'll need to disable the macos "show a finder search window" shortcut like so https://twitter.com/ThomasAlcala/status/1088710623708565504
  • go forth and emoji ⚡ 🏎

Controls

Keyboard:

  • trigger with option-cmd-space
  • tab & shift-tab or arrow keys to move the selection
  • enter to use the current emoji (it types it into the topmost application for you)
  • escape to clear the search text, or if it's empty then it closes the window

Mouse:

  • click an emoji to select it
  • right-click an emoji to remove from "recently used" list

Contributing

  • Xcode, it should build & run without any issues (no third-party libraries used)
