Anyone in the modern workplace is probably familiar with tools like Slack, a team-oriented chat platform for getting things done. One of my favorite features is the emoji shortcut, which allows you to simply type :emoji-name:  to insert the corresponding emoji. It makes it really easy to 增加情感 without hunting for the particular emoji you’re thinking of. After living in Slack for hours every day I found myself trying this shortcut in other apps, which disappointingly didn’t work. I’ve kept an ear 到 ground for a solution to this very first-world problem…and finally found one!

但怎么做呢？?

At our last company holiday party, Aydrian mentioned that he had recently added an auto-correct match to his iPhone which replaced shrug  with `¯\_(ツ)_/¯`. I loved the idea, so when I got home, I added all my favorite Slack emoji shortcuts to my Mac auto-correct.

To do this on a Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Text  and then add emoji shortcuts. For an iPhone its the same process, found in Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement .

但它是否有效⁉️

我对它的工作方式相当满意。看看它的运行情况吧。?

Hopefully this trick will help you maintain your emoji skills everywhere. Sometimes you’ll want to use an emoji you haven’t added a shortcut for though ? You can keep your emoji-ing in high gear with the keyboard shortcut ctrl + cmd + space  ?

More love for emojis ❤️

你的代码中的表情符号？

虽然这可能不是最好的主意，但在你的代码和评论中使用表情符号是可能的。更实际的是，如果你像我一样，喜欢在你的代码编辑器中写作，能够轻松地添加表情符号是一个很好的功能（我实际上是用它来写这篇博文的--gettin' meta）。有大量的插件可以帮助实现这一功能。这里有几个我听说过的好东西。

• Atom: 自动完成+emojis建议

• Sublime Text 3: GithubEmoji

• JetBrains: 表情符号支持插件

表情符号作为你的代码？

On a slightly more whimsical front, there is an open source project named Emojicode which is an entirely emoji-based language. You should definitely 试一试.
