Not sure if I'm installing this correctly but I cloned the repo and did npm install then npm run build
This is where I'm getting the error:

Hi guys,

I had a trouble running this probably due to node bundled with osascript on macOS 10.11? I am not sure. I made it work by:

• running it with local node (not osascript)
• putting back removing first two process.argv
• and let Alfred do the filtering

This isn't as much as issue, as maybe something for other users to know or put to your readme? I am not sure. If you want, I can also change the updater URLs and do a separate release, though I am not sure how replicable my setup is — I was simply running yarn load until I got it working :D

My modifications are here: https://github.com/adamkiss/alfred-emoji

The current method of downloading an artifact and uploading it is insufficient. We should use the github scripts action to automatically create new releases and upload the artifacts to them.

Some emoji searches result in duplicate emoji results. I've got a fix in the works. PR coming soon.

Screenshot:

All of a sudden every time I use the (wonderful) emoji workflow, I get a OS notification saying the workflow is updating. I ran debug and am seeing this error at the very end of the console output:
[12:02:17.759] ERROR: Emoji search[Run Script] The file /var/folders/v7/0gb14sxs36x6m_pydm5whnbm0000gn/T/tmp.YriP7MDg.alfredworkflow does not exist.

Hi! Just updated to 1.7.0 with the new JXA runtime (#25) but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. The window just stays empty

I personally only ever insert emojis directly and never need them in my clipboard.

And I couldn't figure out how to change the keyboard shortcuts but maybe that's super easy to do myself?

The keyboard shortcuts you have are a little different than most of the other packages I've used (including some built in ones as well).

I believe "return" should paste the emoji into the current text field
"cmd-c" should copy to clipboard

I don't believe the other commands have commonly used equivalents so they can either stay as is or adapt accordingly

Overall love the workflow!

To add random as an option so every time an emoji with skin-tone is selected with a random skin-tone (from 1 to 5).

If you think this is an interesting feature I would be happy to open a PR so I get familiar with Alfred workflows :)

It may interest some users here I did an emoji picker that is really blazing fast: https://github.com/devnoname120/alfred-emoji-picker

It has fewer features than this project because I don't really use them so I didn't implement them. I welcome pull requests though if someone wants to implement an extra feature.

Hi there,

I've been trying to do these things:

• Use colon (:) as the keyword, without a space (for consistency with, say, Notion, GitHub, and to speed things up) So as to look for, say, :clown.
  • It works... to a limit: results include (distracting) non-emoji results, e.g.: :a will return both "Activity monitor" and other programs, along a couple of emojis. Any option to not fall back to non-emoji results?
• Make insert ("Paste {query} into frontmost application") the default behavior to speed things up.
  • I was successful making the change (just unticked the 'Command' modifier key in the workflow on the one brand, to tick it and set modifier subtext "Copy "{query}" to clipboard" on the other brand.) Problems are: the default text still remains "Copy ... to clipboard", and it copies it to clipboard anyway, which is not desirable.)
  • I tried editing the plist (and then restarting Alfred) to edit the phrasings, but it's been without impact. What did I miss?

Thanks for the help!

First of all, thanks for this great Alfred workflow; using it every day! :)

With a small subset of emojis, I noticed a weird hiccup: instead of the usual emoji symbol, a smaller b/w line pictogram is suggested and copied upon pressing Enter:

Any idea what this might be due to? The emoji is definitely available on my system (macOS 10.15.7) and it also shows up right in the item preview, but what is copied is the symbol in the subtitle…
I'm happy to assist in tracking down the error and/or fixing it.

Edit: I guess a first step would be to build the workflow from source and see if it still occurs? 🤔

Followed your instructions > set the variable skin_tone > not seeing the set skintone. What should I do? TIA!

This was suggested in the forums:

Also it would be nice if this matched for open_book. So you are not forced to type the underscore every time.

I tend to agree, but I also think it would be beneficial to be able to search for book open and get the same result as open_book. In other words, multi-word queries.

Right now, we just strip whitespace, but I think we can do better. I'm going to play with a PR to improve this soon.

Nice workflow 😃

Could you add hotkey input like below, so that we can easily invoke the workflow?

When I search using this workflow, it does not find the new emoji added to macOS 11. Does the workflow need an update to handle them and is that update coming?

Thank you!

For example diving mask is not there https://emojipedia.org/diving-mask as well as a bunch of other emogies.

Any plans to get them included at some point soon?

I am certain there are new emoji in the latest macOS release, 10.15. I'm not sure when I will update to the new OS. When I do, I will issue a new workflow release with the added emoji. It could be quite some time, however. I'm not keen to update to 10.15 any time soon.

Most of the stuff in Alfred is sorted by recently used. It would be cool if this workflow could remember which emoji was recently used and sort based on that.

(Maybe save the number of invocations per emoji to a cache file and use that when sorting?)

Hi!

Just wondering how it would be possible for me to change the return and cmd+return gestures. Instead, I would like return to simply paste the symbol, and cmd+return to copy the symbol.

Thanks for your work!

Hi, wondering if there is anyway we can change the skin tone used in the emoji through this workflow?
Thanks

When I search for "thumb," neither thumbs up nor thumbs down comes up.

With macOS 10.14 being released today there should be an updated release of alfred-emoji to go along with it so that the new emoji in the OS is included. However, I do not currently have a system that I will be able to install 10.14 on and issue an updated build from.

@rmm5t do you have a system available for this?

For example 🙅‍♀️ (https://emojipedia.org/woman-gesturing-no/) is displayed as the genderless version (https://emojipedia.org/person-gesturing-no/) for me instead of the correct female one

Same for the 🙆‍♀️ emoji:

Recently the new emoji skin tone PR #31 was merged that allows you to set change the emoji skin tone in the Workflow Environment Variables.

Now a nice addition to this feature would be to add a "settings" command to set the skin tone.
I would like to work on this PR but before I do I would like to check what you think about this and maybe feedback about my proposed solution.

Honestly I am not sure about the keyword 😅 all suggestions are welcome.
After keyword trigger it will list all 5 skin tones and the default yellow no skin tone.
The one selected (enter) will be set in Workflow Environment Variables.

The build script uses jq, but that's a command line tool that not everyone may have installed. The script also doesn't abort straight away when jq isn't found.

This emoji is missing: ☕️

Probably more.

I also cloned it and built on my machine (btw step npm genpack is missing from the README) and I have the same issue.

To require a re-review of a pull request if somebody adds new commits to an approved pull request.

🙏 for this 💥 workflow!

The following emoji are missing icons due the Apple emoji font not recognizing them:

• octocat
• shipit
• bowtie
• neckbeard
• trollface
• godmode
• goberserk
• finnadie
• feelsgood
• rage1
• rage2
• rage3
• rage4
• suspect
• hurtrealbad

They will need special consideration if they are to work correctly. I'm not an artist, so someone else will have to step up.

There is a discussion in https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11126-alfred-emoji-search-emojis-by-name-or-keyword/ about adding auto update support. I agree that this is desirable. However, as @rmm5t pointed out in the thread, this is functionally that should come from Alfred itself, ideally.

Even if it is to come from a third party add on, this add on needs to support the way releases are currently done for this workflow. Which is to say, it should be able to acquire the latest binary from the tagged release. The only binaries that should be in this repository are the rendered emoji images.

Currently receiving the wrong emoji in most application.

As shown in the screenshot below, the coffin icon differs between the actual expected coffin emoji and what is shown in the "Copy (coffin) to clipboard"

Interestingly, github changes the emoji to the "correct" one when using the workflow here

Copy can still be the default when the picker is invoked using the emoji keyword from the Alfred bar.
I may do a PR.

Related: #63

First, thank you for this workflow, and @Glennmen's work on supporting skin tones #38

I noticed that the skin_tone setting is not applied to all emojis that support skin tones.

My skin tone setting is 1:

This works great for hand gestures:

However, the skin tone setting is not applied to emojis that contain faces (my preliminary observation):

The shrug emoji for instance, should have supported the following skin tones:

Is this a known issue, or intended behaviour?

Search fails to return values if uppercase letters as used.

Input emoji Beer return no results where it should return the same as emoji beer.

Would be cool if this could generate a number of random emojis e.g. emoji random 2 could generate 2 random emojis to be pasted in.

This workflow is great.

Suggested improvement: set default action on pressing ENTER.

I'm used to actioning items in Alfred with ENTER, and by default I'd like the emoji pasted into app I'm using (rather than copied into the clipboard).

Thanks!

I got this workflow working on one machine, but am having issues with another! Maybe a setting I've missed? The workflow seems to be installed correctly, and the beer icon appears as I type "emoji", but when I hit enter to invoke the emoji search Alfred takes me to its standard Google search. Any ideas?

I'd like to be able to lookup an emojis name by pasting it into a query. Visually searching for emojis is tedious, and many inputs allow users to enter :emojiname: for the same result.

Sample Alfred query: "emoji 👍 "
Expected output: :+1:

Would this be possible? From looking at the emojilib this should be relatively simple, both in v2 and in v3, correct?

I'm sure the macos-latest will change soon. See https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/cd45b96d7f83d05ede9f34ebd12279d13946ab4a/README.md#L12-L13

But we should also produce two packages: one for 10.15 and one for 11.0.

I noticed recently-added emojis (e.g. 🫠, 🫶) don't have thumbnails on search results.

Environment:
macOS 12.3.1
Alfred 4.6.5 [1299]
Workflow v.1.12.0

A match made in heaven, tbh.

Usually works best with an extra flag to set "paste" as default action.

Thank you!

Example of issue:

Brief issue as a note for myself because I'll do a PR.

Note for myself: use a TDD approach for that one.

These instructions should be updated to reference the new user configuration as outlined in https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/user-configuration/.

We should add a mechanism to disable the automatic update checking and upgrading feature for workflows built locally. When someone build the workflow locally, it is likely because they want icons we are unable to provide due to our build system not being on the latest macOS. At the moment, they have to manually remove the update checking to prevent their build from being overwritten.

Hey! Would it be too out of scope of a project to support gitmoji keywords? :) Like suggesting ⚡️ on queries "improve" and "perfomance".
I could probably do it myself if it's appropriate, though I'm not well-versed in JS.

I do know that there are some other Alfred workflows for gitmojis, but I don't like them.

Probably it would be okay to enable this as a feature flag (variable) disabled by default.

I updated to v1.11.0 yesterday, and the list of recently/commonly used emoji no longer appears when I use the hotkey. I have selected specific emoji several times since then and the list has not repopulated in any way.

This was the method that I would use to select my most commonly used emoji easier than having to type a keyword for them.

Is this a feature purposefully removed, or a bug, or me using the tool incorrectly?

I couldn't tell if this was related to #76, but it looks like common aliases might have been dropped in the last update.

An example is searching for coffee which brings up brown "brown heart" 🤎 and "coffin" ⚰️.

TIL that it's labeled as "hot beverage" which search can't quite narrow down with either "hot beverage" or "hotbeverage". I can eventually get there by searching for "beverage" finding it.

Anyways, not a huge deal, but passing it along just in case this wasn't intended.

There are situation where I'd like to access the codepoint instead of directly copying the emoji.

I'd be happy to provide a PR, assuming somebody can give me some pointers on how to get started. 🙂
