This workflow helps to quickly search and paste an emoji from a categorized list.
Because I type a lot of emojis, I prefer to use a workflow that allows to search an emoji using different terms, instead of using snippets because it's a bit faster, and has more flexibility in grouping emojis and adding custom terms.
- 🔎 Search for an emoji quickly using a list of predefined terms.
- 🍮 Add custom search terms for an emoji.
- 💚💜❤️ Group multiple emojis together.
- ⛓ Chain paste multiple emojis together.
- 🚀 Recent emoji list.
