bemoji is an emoji picker that remembers your favorites, with support for bemenu/wofi/rofi/dmenu and wayland/X11.
Simply execute bemoji without any options to set up the default emoji database and let you quickly pick an emoji. It will be copied to your clipboard for you to paste anywhere. If you execute bemoji -t it will directly type your emoji directly into whatever application is in focus.
When the emoji list is open you can always press Alt+1 to send the selected emoji to clipboard and Alt+2 to type the selected emoji, regardless of what the default action is set to. (Currently works in bemenu and rofi.)
You can also map the picker to a key combination for quick access.
This is free and open source software.
