EmojiType

A browser extension that turns short keywords into emoji as you type. Use a delimiter (e.g. :) and type :smile: or :smile + Tab to get 😄.

What it does

• Replace on type: Type delimiter + keyword + delimiter (e.g. :smile:) and it’s replaced by the emoji.
• Tab completion: Type delimiter + keyword and press Tab to autocomplete.
• Suggestions: Optional popup with matching keywords as you type.

You choose the delimiter in Options (default :) and manage your keyword→emoji map in the Dictionary tab.

Tabs in the popup

1. Sites – Whitelist/blacklist by URL pattern so EmojiType runs only where you want. Enable or disable on the current site with one click.
2. Options – Set the delimiter (e.g. :, ;), turn Suggestions on/off and set opacity, and pick Theme (light/dark).
3. Dictionary – Add, edit, and remove keyword→emoji entries. Use Backup to export/import or reset.

How to use

1. Set your delimiter in Options (default is :).
2. In any text field, type delimiter + keyword + delimiter (e.g. :smile:) to replace with the emoji, or type delimiter + keyword and press Tab to autocomplete.
3. Turn on Suggestions in Options to see matches while typing.
4. Use the Dictionary tab to add or edit keywords and emoji.

Install / build

• From source: Clone the repo, then load the extension in Chrome/Edge: open chrome://extensions, enable “Developer mode”, click “Load unpacked”, and select the project folder (the one containing manifest.json).
• Build: No build step required for development. If you use a build script (e.g. npm), run it from the project root; the extension runs from the src directory (or your build output).
