This is an updated version of the original alfred emoji pack to include new emojis in unicode 12. Even if the script was written quickly, it is now more useable, and supports I18N.
There are 3 packs that allow some flexibility in inserting emojis:
Emoji Pack Updaterequires a prefix, a suffix (to be set in Alfred, see Install section below), and uses underscore to separate words, just like GitHub
:lady_beetle:to insert 🐞 (use:for consistency)Emoji Pack DecolSpstill requires a prefix and a suffix, but uses a more convenient␣space to separate words
;lady beetle;to insert 🐞 (use;to avoid ⇧ for:)Emoji Pack DecolDeduponly requires a prefix, uses a more convenient-to separate words, and sometimes␣to signify emoji ending to avoid shorter keywords overriding the longer compound ones
;lady-beetleto insert 🐞
;+1␣to insert 👍️ (extra space allows entering;+1-tone5to insert 👍🏿)
