If you’re on Windows 10 or macOS then your OS has an emoji picker (with search) that you can use anywhere. macOS: Ctrl+Cmd+Space Windows 10: Windows+. or Windows+; * * * It’s unlikely that a non-native emoji picker or `:smile:` type emoji support will be added to the current markdown editor. With the upcoming [Koenig editor](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9311) there could eventually be a way to install an emoji app that adds a picker or `:smile:` support to the editor. ---

Why not just use Font Awesome?

Retitled this idea to “Emoji Autocomplete” - because while we probably don’t want to build out a complex implementation of Emoji using images, we could definitely do an autocomplete helper tool ---

Please please allow an option to disable it, though. I often run into a problem writing in French on Slack and Discourse: I have to put a space before a colon, and that triggers the autocomplete menu for emoji, which are writen like that :‍confused‍: ---

To be clear: We are not going to do an Emoji Picker - that isn’t happening. This topic is being kept open to track support for Emoji Autocomplete as in: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/9/9333b3af54f114d60a54dfc675e2e69a2cf290c7.png) ---

> [@jeff](#): > This is may be a good as workaround, but not useful to much. When you type text, you can’t use embedded HTML, when you make embedded HTML, will be complicated to make there the text. So, technically this solution is not the best. Should be some plugin/extension for this. ---

It was better 6 months ago - the new editor behaves differently. It used to be easier to just insert the HTML. Do you have a better suggestion or a plugin/extension? It would be popular 🙂 ---

A good solution is use an emoji-picker utility that integrated with your OS. Usually they are launched by a global keyboard shortcut so they can be used with any app. After you select the emoji, it will either by copied to the clipboard or typed directly into whatever app is opened. ---
