The emoji keyboard

When you work in media, they can be an important addition to the workplace conversation!

Then, I learned that there's an easy keyboard shortcut for Mac keyboards.

All you have to do is type in "control + command + space bar" at the same time, and you'll get a pop-up of the full range of emojis.

You can then select one easily, although unfortunately you cannot select more than one without having to open the menu again (psst... that'd be a good update, Apple).

As you can see, I frequently use fire ?? (for hot takes), ?? (for things I love), and ?? (for chill situations).

Enjoy your new, emoji-filled desktop environment!
