Emoji shortcodes

Type a : followed by an emoji shortcode in the prompt input to insert the emoji. Requires Claude Code v2.1.217 or later.

• Type a complete shortcode such as :heart: and Claude Code replaces it with ❤️ as soon as you type the closing :
• Type : plus at least two characters of a name, such as :hea, to open a suggestion popup, then press Tab or Enter to insert the highlighted emoji

The shortcode must start the input or follow a space, so a : inside a word or URL doesn't open suggestions.

To turn the feature off, set emojiCompletionEnabled to false in settings.json. This disables both the suggestion popup and the inline replacement.
