Do you wish there was a way to type your favourite emoji without stopping to use the picker?

✅ In Mastodon, you can choose an emoji directly by typing : (colon) and then a keyword or name of the emoji you want.

For example, :sun will bring up all the emoji containing the word "sun". Choose the one you want with the arrow keys, then press enter.
