Emoji your friends and colleagues from the comfort of your own terminal.
em is a nifty command-line utility for referencing emoji characters by name. Provide the names of a few emoji, and those lucky chosen emojis will be displayed in your terminal, then copied to your clipboard. Automagically.
Emoji can be also searched by both categories and aspects.
Let's serve some delicious cake:
$ em sparkles shortcake sparkles Copied! β¨ π° β¨
Let's skip the copying (for scripts):
$ em 'chocolate bar' --no-copy π«
Let's find some emoji, by color:
$ em -s yellow π yellow_heart π© woman π€ baby_chick π tropical_fish π» sunflower πΌ blossom π§ construction π full_moon β star π ledger πΈ children_crossing π° japanese_symbol_for_beginner π‘ yellow_circle π¨ yellow_square π« ginger_root
If there's only a single search result, it's copied:
$ em -s ukraine Copied! πΊπ¦ flag_ukraine
Pick a random emoji:
$ em --random Copied! π€ zzz
Pick a random emoji:
$ em --search yellow --random Copied! π¨ yellow_square
At this time, em requires Python and pip:
python3 -m pip install em-keyboard
On Linux, an additional dependency is required for automatic copying to clipboard. This
would be either xclip in an X11 session or
wl-clipboard in a Wayland session. On a
Debian-based distribution these are installable with:
sudo apt install xclip sudo apt install wl-clipboard
If you wanna develop, you might want to write and run tests:
python3 -m pip install tox tox
