Smoji (Select Emoji)

Overview

The Select Emoji Plugin (Smoji) is a simple and lightweight plugin for Neovim that provides a fast and efficient way to insert emojis into your commit messages. Inspired by the popular CLI tool gitmoji, this plugin aims to improve the commit message writing experience by presenting a prompt with a curated list of emojis.

Features

• Fast and responsive emoji prompt within Neovim.
• Curated list of emojis sourced from gitmoji for meaningful commit messages.
• Easy-to-use interface with smooth emoji selection.

Installation

Use your preferred package manager for Neovim, such as Lazy, Vundle, or packer.nvim.

For example, using Lazy:

1. Add the following lines to your Neovim configuration file

    "zakissimo/smoji.nvim",
    cmd = "Smoji",
    keys = {
      { "<leader><leader>e", "<cmd>Smoji<cr>", desc = "Git[e]moji" },
      { "<C-e>", "<cmd>Smoji<cr>", desc = "Git[e]moji", mode = "i"},
      { "<C-e>", "<cmd>Smoji<cr>", desc = "Git[e]moji", mode = "t"},
    },
    config = function()
      require("smoji")
    end,

2. Require smoji somewhere in your configuration file (if not done yet)

   require("smoji")

3. Reload your Neovim configuration

Usage

1. When you are in insert mode, use the following command to trigger the emoji prompt:

   :Smoji

2. The emoji prompt will pop up, displaying a list of emojis along with their meanings.

3. Navigate and select the desired emoji.

4. Press Enter to insert the selected emoji into your commit message.

Configuration

You can customize the behavior of the Neovim Emoji Prompt Plugin by setting the following options in your Neovim configuration file.

Custom emoji list

By default, the plugin uses emojis from gitmoji. If you want to use a custom list of emojis, you can set this variable to a list of emoji strings. For example:

TODO!

Custom prompt message

TODO!

Define mappings

If you prefer to use custom mappings instead of :Smoji command

vim.keymap.set("n", "<Leader><Leader>e", "<CMD>Smoji<CR>")

Acknowledgments

This plugin was inspired by the gitmoji CLI tool, which provides a list of emojis for use in commit messages.
