TIL Insert emoji on macOS -- without a mouse or extra software

I was very excited to learn that macOS supports adding emoji without the use of a mouse or a third-party app. It's awkward but it works:

• Cmd + Ctrl + Space to bring up the emoji chooser
• Type to search for the emoji
• Use the arrow keys to navigate through the emoji
• Press Enter to insert the emoji

• Matthew Palmer's Rocket app also permits very easy emoji insertion. Users of vim are warned. The app relies on quite a bit of usage of the : character. It looks like it's possible to modify this behavior by changing the trigger keys.
• You may need to make some changes to get Warp to play nicely with Rocket.
