This plugin enables emoji abbreviations in Vim, making Unicode emojis easy to type. For instance typing `:)` produces 😄 (Unicode char 0x01f604),  or typing `:boom:` produces 💥 (Unicode char 0x1f4a5). ### Enabling Run `:runtime macros/emojis.vim` to enable abbreviations in the current buffer. To always enable it for certain file types add the following to your `~/.vimrc`:     au FileType html,php,markdown,mmd,text,mail,gitcommit         \ runtime macros/emoji-ab.vim You need UTF-8 support to use this. ### Smiley style abbreviations Typing `:)` into a buffer should produce "😄". The smileys defined in this manner are: * 😄 (smiley): `:)`, `:-)` * 🙁 (slightly_frowning_face): `:(`, `:-(` * 😉 (wink): `;)`, `;-)` * 😊 (blush): `:$`, `:-$` * 😁 (grin): `:D`, `:-D` * 😳 (flushed): `8|`, `8-|` * 😲 (astonished): `:O`, `:-O`, `8O`, `8-O` * 😛 (stuck_out_tongue): `:P`, `:-P` * 😜 (stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye): `;P`, `;-P` * 😝 (stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes): `XP`, `X-P` * 😖 (confounded): `%)`, `%-)` * 😕 (confused): `%/`, `%-/` * 😎 (sunglasses): `8)`, `8-)`, `B)`, `B-)` * 😢 (cry): `:`, `:'-(` * 😂 (joy): `:`, `:'-)` * 😈 (smiling_imp): `>:)`, `>:-)` * 😇 (innocent): `O:)`, `O:-)` * 😑 (expressionless): `:|`, `:-|` * 😡 (rage): `:<`, `:-<` * 😒 (unamused): `:/`, `:-/` * 😴 (sleeping): `|O`, `|-O` * 🙄 (face_with_rolling_eyes): `8-/`, `8/` * 🤐 (zipper_mouth_face): `:X`, `:-X` **NOTE:** Some of the above are not legal vim abbreviations. This depends on what characters are keywords. The ones that are not legal abbreviations are silently ignored. ### Gemoji abbreviatons Typing `:joy:` into a buffer should produce "😂". A huge (800+) list of standard emoji aliases can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908). In addition to this a few extra completions (corresponding to emoji tags) are defined. The official emoji tags are not unique, so duplicates are sequentially numbered. E.g. `:happy:`, `:happy2:`, `:happy3:`, etc. (which produce 😀, 😄 and 😆 respectively). These can also be produced using the aliases `:smile:`, `:laugh:`, `:laughing:` respectively. A list of all completions defined is in [tests/emojis-of-tags.vim](tests/emojis-of-tags.vim). A list of tags for each emoji is in [tests/tags-of-emojis.txt](tests/tags-of-emojis.txt) for searching. Completions are enabled. Typing     :ang<C-X><C-O> should produce a list with previews. ### Advanced notes #### Completion lists The list of completions / emojis was generated automatically from `emoji.json` taken from the [gemoji](https://github.com/github/gemoji) project using the python script `tests/parse-emojis.py`. Here you can see that each emoji has both aliases (which appear to be unique), and tags (which are not unique). We define completions by combining these lists, and adding suffixes when tags are not unique. #### Helper functions All functions from the [vim-emoji](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-emoji) plugin are available. Just replace `emoji#` with `gh_emoji#`. The completion code is directly taken from this plugin, but the data is replaced by the gemoji tags / aliases. ### Color emojis You can get color emojis in vim (even on a terminal 😱🤯💥) by installing the right fonts. On Debian buster:     apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji makes things work on `gnome-termial` and `gvim`. To make things work under `Konsole` (and also to get browsers to use the color emojis, and not the black and white ones from the *Symbola* or *Dejavu* fonts, you might have to also edit `~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig>   <alias>     <family>serif</family>     <prefer>       <family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>     </prefer>   </alias>   <alias>     <family>sans-serif</family>     <prefer>       <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>     </prefer>   </alias>   <alias>     <family>monospace</family>     <prefer>       <family>Hack</family>     </prefer>   </alias>   <match target="pattern">     <edit name="family" mode="prepend">       <string>Noto Color Emoji</string>     </edit>   </match> </fontconfig> ``` This sets `Bistream Vera` as your default font. The reason for this is that it has the same glyphs as the default `Dejavu` fonts, so you shouldn't notice the difference. However it does **not** have any of the Unicode smileys. Thus the color smileys from the *Noto Color Emoji* font should be used.
