PROJECT NO LONGER ACTIVE

PLEASE TRY ALFRED EMOJI INSTEAD (jsumners/alfred-emoji)

To get the same behavior, alt+return in Alfred Emoji will yield the same character-based results.

Search Emoji characters using Alfred 2

It's like alfred-emoji-workflow, but it returns characters!

Usage: :[query]

After you hit <enter> the Emoji character (think :beer:, not :beer:) will be copied to your pastebuffer and simultaneous pasted into the active window.
