Emoji shortcodes

Type a colon and a few letters, and SimpleFill suggests the emoji you’re looking for, just like in Slack and GitHub. Now it works everywhere you write.

Find an emoji

1. Type : followed by at least one letter, like :smi.
2. A dropdown shows up to five matching emoji.
3. Press Enter to insert the highlighted one, or click any of them.

Search matches emoji names and keywords too, so you don’t need the exact code:

:thanks   →  🙏
:party    →  🥳
:fire     →  🔥

Close the colon

Know the code by heart? Type it in full, with a closing colon, and it turns into the emoji instantly:

:tada:    →  🎉
:+1:      →  👍
:smile:   →  😄
:rocket:  →  🚀

SimpleFill knows more than 1,800 emoji, with the shortcodes you know from Slack and GitHub, including aliases like :thumbsup:.

Where it works

Emoji work in text boxes, search boxes, text areas, and rich editors. They don’t pop up in password, email, or number fields.

Turn emoji off

• Everywhere: switch off Enable emoji expansion in Settings.
• On certain sites or fields: add a site rule. For example, turn emoji off on app.slack.com, which has its own.
