Description
Autocomplete :emoji: everywhere on macOS. Type a colon and search any emoji, symbol, or shortcode in seconds — in TextEdit, iMessage, Terminal, anywhere. Slack and a few other apps have this — type :heart: and you get ❤️. It makes finding emoji easy. I wanted it everywhere on my Mac, so I built Mojito. It works just like you'd expect, and it's smart enough to ignore apps and sites that already support it. And it's free, open-source donationware.

Could you build this?
Partial Requires system-wide macOS accessibility permissions, global keyboard hooks, and text replacement across diverse sandboxed and non-sandboxed apps.
What it would actually take: Built with native Swift/Objective-C using macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and CGEventTap to capture keystrokes and inject Unicode text globally. The hard part is reliably handling text insertion across complex apps (terminals, web browsers, Electron apps) without introducing input lag or running afoul of macOS sandbox and permissions restrictions.
