You can achieve something similar with Alfred 3's auto-expanding snippets and Joe Califa's Alfred Emoji Pack, but if for some reason you don't own Alfred 3, this is a great alternative solution!
Installation is super easy — such a great trick @warpling:
1. Download emoji substitutions.plist
2. Open System Preferences and navigate to Keyboard > Text
3. Drag the emoji substitutions.plist to the list of substitutions to add them
4. Type something like :boom: or :blackbox: and hit space after! 💥⬛️

I am so happy I found out about this, I was seriously considering doing this by hand (at least for my favorite emoji) the other day.
@immatthamlin Same! I finally hit a breaking point yesterday and decided to make the full list. Took *a lot* of regex and messing with the `join` tool to corroborate the Unicode/Slack lists together correctly 😆
@immatthamlin my pleasure! And fingers crossed they eventually switch to the native spell checker!
@immatthamlin @warpling Not tech a lot, but I use TextExpander to use shortcuts that work in Chrome. Is there a way to import that to TextExpander? 🤔
@romugaboriau @immatthamlin Very possible! If you're comfortable scripting, there's a simple template system set up that will export the mapping to a Keyboard Maestro version. If you know what TextExpander expects as input it should be easy to add one for it. Lmk if you need help!
tbh I don't understand this.... It's so easy to do
⌘ + control + space
and get the popup.... That way I don't have to memorize all the emoji names....
@joedeliame The emoji picker isn't *that* bad, but it does often lag, and can be very interrupting to have to scroll/search through when you know you just want a :beer: 🍺
@joedeliame It is super laggy a lot of the time, and if you know the name, it is faster than searching.
@joedeliame If you are accustomed to using substitutions like I am (thanks to using Slack for months) then this is a lot better than a popup
Also don't forget about Rocket from @_matthewpalmer ! https://www.producthunt.com/post... . Happy owner, and you can add in GIFS and custom images.
Been looking for a simple solution like this for ages -- really glad I stumbled onto this!
Thanks!! 🔥 😄
@joshdance hmm they show in the substitutions list? Have you tried it in TextEdit? Some apps are glitchy with substitutions :/
Awesome for people without Alfred, is there anyway to get this working in Chrome?
@david_diam Not currently possible in Chrome. For any other app, go the Menu > Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement, and that will enable it.
@mimi_wong it works system wide! (except for apps like Chrome using custom text stuff 😞)
It'll also sync to your other devices via iCloud since it's a system text substitution 🙂
Hey @anmol_malhotra4! They should sync to your phone via iCloud, but with the changes coming in iOS 10 I'm not sure they're as useful there.
Awesome! :boom: but where is this supported? Can't make it work in GDocs or other apps.
@unmultimedio should be supported anywhere that uses system spell check. Google's apps do not, but maybe this'll change in the future: http://apple.stackexchange.com/q...
@heyuan Thanks Yuan. There are definitely more advanced solutions (https://mojito.cool/) but this is the simplest way I could think of!
