TG Emoji Search

Simple demo

This plugin provides a fast and intuitive way to insert emojis into your Obsidian notes. By typing a trigger character (":" by default) followed by a keyword, you get an instant suggestion list of matching emojis, complete with optional keyword hints. The plugin also includes a command to insert a random emoji, plus it tracks your most used emojis.
