Inspired by the excellent [mojibar](https://github.com/muan/mojibar).

## Installation

- go to [the releases page](https://github.com/jaredly/qmoji/releases)

- download `qmoji.zip` & unzip it

- right-click qmoji.app & select "open" (because it's not signed, double-clicking won't work the first time)

- you should see a 🙃 in your statusbar

- if you want to use the default shortcut (cmd+opt+space), you'll need to disable the macos "show a finder search window" shortcut like so https://twitter.com/ThomasAlcala/status/1088710623708565504

- go forth and emoji ⚡ 🏎

## Controls

Keyboard:

- trigger with option-cmd-space

- tab & shift-tab or arrow keys to move the selection

- enter to use the current emoji (it types it into the topmost application for you)

- escape to clear the search text, or if it's empty then it closes the window

Mouse:

- click an emoji to select it

- right-click an emoji to remove from "recently used" list

## Contributing

- Xcode, it should build & run without any issues (no third-party libraries used)
