emoji-toolbox is a toolbox full of handy features for developers who want to use emojis in their code or documentation more often 😃.
Features
- Replace text with a fitting emoji
- Insert an emoji from a list of emoticons
- Replace an ASCII emoji with its "real" emoji counterpart
- Replace anything you have selected.
Usage
Convert
- Select a text or ASCII emoji
- Open the command palette (
ctrl+ shift + p or F1 or View -> Command Palette...)
- Select an action
- Convert ASCII to emoji - converts an ASCII emoji, like ":)" to a "real" emoji like 😃
- Convert text to emoji - converts given text to a fitting emoji (wink -> 😉 | mad -> 😠)
- Convert anything to emoji - tries to convert the selected content to an emoji
Please only select one word or ASCII emoji at a time when converting. Otherwise, it will fail. (Support for this may come in the future.)
You might get a dropdown with multiple emojis to choose from whenever multiple emojis are connected with one word. (e.g. meh can result in 😐 and 😒)
Insert
- Position your cursor where you want to insert an emoji
- Open the command palette (
ctrl+ shift + p or F1 or View -> Command Palette...)
- Choose Insert emoji
- Pick an emoji you like
Extension Settings
I have not included any settings yet, because I have not seen the need for now.
