keyboard shortcut for making Emojis & Emoticons? (lemmy.world)

If you're on Windows, just press:

Windows + ; (semicolon)

It pops up this little menu where you can pick all kinds of emoticons and stuff. Super handy if you're lazy like me and don't want to Google them every time 😂.

Quick heads-up though: the selection is kinda limited compared to what you get on your phone or online, but it's still pretty cool. If you're into more options, check out "Emoticon Hub" or hit up GitHub's massive emoji list.

Also… I have no clue what the shortcut is on Mac (if there even is one). Any Mac users here? Drop a comment and help a clueless user out!

Weird. It’s Win+V for me. But I guess that’s because I use PowerToys (which every Windows user should because WTF why are these things not baked into Windows rantrantrantragerant).

Win + V should bring up cliboard history which is basically the same pop-up just on a different tab.

Because making the is better is not how they make money. Thats why all the changes they do make are forcing to use their shit programs and collect your data. The answer is always capitalism.
