Did you ever want emojis in your terminal? Do you find yourself constantly writing the same text snippets?

<!--more-->

With Tmux-text-macros you can easily save and recall these inside Tmux. Powered by [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) the search allows you to easily search macros by content or description. It comes with all emojis, box-drawing characters and block characters, as well as a few emoticons.

Now I can use all the emojis when writing this blog. 🐦🐻 🕴💀
