- Download
emoji substitutions.plist
(make sure it has the extension.plist
) - Open System Preferences and navigate to Keyboard > Text
- Drag the
emoji substitutions.plist
to the list of substitutions to add them - Type something like
:boom:
or:blackbox:
and hit space after! π₯β¬οΈ
- Just run
./scrips/macmoji install
(or evenuninstall
!) (Thanks mshick!)
Thanks to the fantastic work of rael9 Macmoji now has a script for generating other template files (Maestro, Alfred, etc) from the latest emoji substitutions. If you add to the base plist
simply run python scripts/update-km.py
from the base directory and the templates in templates/*
will be created in the base directory. Creating new templates is easy and highly encouraged!
If you'd prefer to use Keyboard Maestro to handle the substiutions, import the emojis-km6.kmmacros file in the Keyboard Maestro Editor. Emoji can be added in the editor or by editing the emojis-km6.kmmacros file before importing. The macro can then be exported to back up your changes.
(This macro was created and tested using version 6. It has not been tested with other versions.)
Yep! Macmoji substitutions are ordinary text substitutions. Double click an entry to change it; highlight and hit delete to remove it. To highlight multiple substitutions select one and then while holding shift select another. You can always add your own too of course!

Type your skin-tonable emoji, then type :skin-tone-3:
(any number 1-5) to add the skintone. They should combine!
Let me know in the issues orrr file a pull request!
Yep! Highlight and drag out the ones you want to back-up or share and you'll get a neat little .plist
. Drag them back in and only the unique ones will be added.
Yeah it's a bummer. Chrome bypasses the system's autocomplete (and a few other things), but a passable work around is to open Spotlight (cmd + space
) type your emojis there, copy, paste, and you're good to go! π
Keyboard text substitutions sync across iCloud. I haven't found a way to disable it short of removing the substitutions and iOS seems to ignore colons π€. I will update this if I learn of a solution.
No clue. Beats me. Have a hunch why? I'd love to hear it!
The best way to update is to remove all previously added substitutions and then drag in the plist again (hold shift
to select all the colon clad substitutions).
Tip: You can always back-up substitutions by selecting and dragging them out of the list!
