I just like emoji. On Slack, Messages, everywhere. macOS helps us using it with its shortcut ⌘+⌃+Space
. But can we automate it? Let say shortcut ⌘+⌃+1
would type 👍?
Yes, we can!
- First you need Alfred with powerpack (paid version). https://www.alfredapp.com
-
Download and open emoji collection. As Optional you can create your collection in
Features
>Snippets
. Snippet tutorial. -
Important In the same window opt-in option
Automatically expand snippets by keyword
andA->
. As it says, this allows Alfred to replace!et
🤔 during typing. -
Download and open emoji workflow. As Optional in
Workflow
you can create your own workflow that will triggerNSAppleScript
. Workflow tutorial. - Set correct hotkeys by double-clicking on each
Hotkey
node and press your shortcut.
End Result
If you have a QMK keyboard you could omit Alfred and send Unicode itself. Let me know if you want to read more about it.
