# Discussion

- how do I "type" an emoji? I know how to copy them from ~/bigsrc/emacs28/admin/unidata/emoji-test.txt, but there must be better ways...
  - you could use emojify-mode (there's M-x emojify-insert-emoji)
- Other notes:
  - Oh wow, I didn't actually know about embark
    - Yeah, switch to "smaller" turned out to be quite nice
    - but noticed projectile greps faster than consult/counsel in a lot of cases
  - Oh wow, the color picker!!!
  - a huge thank you for such an understandable yet detailed summary of what's happening in the Emacs world!
  - From [YouTube](www.youtube.com/watch?v=270ljvW6UrA&feature=em-comments): Excellent summary!! Thanks for the timestamps as well.
