How to show emojis in vscode ubuntu 20.04?

Question

I am trying to display the emojis in VSCode from a computer with Ubuntu version 20.04, but pressing the key combination 'Windows' + '.' (period), it does not perform any action, I have already been investigating but I have not found anything about it that gives me a solution, so I still cannot show the emojis, I do not want to install the exemptions in VSCode that by means of: (colon ) shows you the emoji as it causes me noise when programming, it is worth mentioning that I have tried on the windows operating system and the combination works without problems.

I hope and you can help me if I need to install an extra library or if the key combination to show the emojis in Ubuntu is different.

First of all, Thanks.

Emojis are unicode characters. On Ubuntu check Ctrl+Shift+u, then the hexadecimal number of the emoji, and enter or space. – Manageable

Answer 2

Neither ctrl +. nor win +. not working. As of today, there is no such option without installing an additional extension like :emojisense: which has many options, including disabling some bothersome dependencies. I tried it and it's quite okay.I also set up for this extension a hotkey under win +. in Visual Studio Code ;-) I hope You will like it ! Best regards ! :-)

It is not ideal, but if you don't use it very frequently, you can obviously copy-paste the emoji from any other text.

For example you open gedit, right click and Insert Emoji like this

After that you simply copy and paste the emoji in VSCode 😉️
