⛏ Emoji Picker

ep is an emoji picker for the CLI.

Demo:

Installation

go install github.com/bcongdon/ep

Via HomeBrew

brew tap bcongdon/ep
brew install ep

Usage

Usage of ./ep:
./ep [QUERY]
  -noninteractive
    	If set, doesn't display emoji picker -- instead just outputting the first selection for the provided query.
  -output string
    	The output of ep. Choices: clipboard, stdout (default "clipboard")

Navigation can be done with the arrow keys. Pressing Enter copies the selected emoji to the clipboard.

Examples

• ep - Opens the default emoji picker.
• ep wink - Opens the default emoji picker with the query "wink" already entered
• ep -noninteractive wink - Copies the first search result for "wink" to the clipboard
• ep -noninteractive -output=stdout wink - Outputs the first search result for "wink" to stdout

Troubleshooting

• If you see blank squares in the emoji grid, these emojis cannot be rendered by your terminal's font.
• If you see composite emojis (i.e. 👨‍👨‍👧) rendered as multiple emojis (i.e. 👨👨👧), this is a known issue.
