Insert emojis from a searchable picker or by typing a :shortcode.
Open a picker with every emoji, or type :smi in a note and pick from a list. It works offline, in any note, on desktop and mobile.
Usage
Picker. Run Emoji Search: Insert emoji from the command palette, click the smiley in the ribbon, or right-click in the editor. There is no default hotkey: set one in Settings → Hotkeys if you want it.
- Every emoji is on one scrolling page, in sections. The tabs jump to a section.
- Search by name, keyword or shortcode (
party,thumbs,+1), without accents, in any word order, or paste an emoji to find it. - Arrow keys move,
Enterinserts,Shift+Enterinserts and keeps the picker open,Escclears the search and then closes. - The hand button next to the search field sets your skin tone. Mouse and keyboard use the same one.
- Frequently used emojis are listed first and rank higher in search and suggestions.
- With several cursors or selections, it inserts at all of them in one step. In reading view it copies the emoji instead of editing your note.
Typing. Type a colon and two letters, like :smi, to see suggestions. Enter picks one; one undo gives back what you typed. Type the closing colon of a complete shortcode, :tada:, and it becomes 🎉; undo gives back :tada:.
It stays out of your way: no suggestions in code blocks, inline code, math, links, URLs, HTML, Templater, frontmatter keys, times like 10:30 or table alignment rows. Frontmatter values and table cells work.
Coming from Emoji Toolbar
Emoji Toolbar is no longer updated. Emoji Search covers the same picker, with categories, search, recents and skin tone, and adds typing with :shortcode. Assign your old hotkey to Emoji Search: Insert emoji.
Settings
Skin tone, how many frequently used emojis to show, the editor menu entry, suggestions while typing (with how many letters to wait and how many to show), converting :tada:, and a switch to show emojis your device cannot draw. Those are hidden by default, so you do not see empty boxes; the check runs on your device and is not synced.
Data
Emoji names, keywords and shortcodes come from emojibase-data (MIT), which carries the Unicode CLDR annotations. Nothing is downloaded: the plugin never uses the network.
Installation
In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins → Browse and search for "Emoji Search".
