Set default skin tone for emoji

[skeskali]

I would love the ability to set a default skin tone for emoji. I know another utility that makes this possible, but that utility is a real memory hog.

I'm back to ask Alfred to please consider making this a native/built-in feature.  I moved to another launcher a while back as they had this feature, but I missed Alfred's power. Pretty please with sugar on top? Even Slack allows you to set a default skin tone. :)

What are you asking exactly? Alfred doesn't have any emoji feature to change the default settings of. Are you talking about an emoji workflow?

[skeskali]

I'm saying that there should be an option to set a default skin tone, not a workflow. However, if someone who has developed an emoji workflow could code an option to set a default, that would be fantastic.

Yeah, but an option on what exactly? As I said, Alfred doesn't have an emoji feature.

 

Your request as currently formulated doesn't make sense because you can't add configuration options to features that don't exist.

 

There are several workflows (another) and snippet collections that add emoji features to Alfred.

 

You could perhaps ask the author(s) of those to implement your feature.

Being that this is the features suggestion section of the forum, I know the feature doesn't exist in Alfred. That is why I am suggesting it.

[deanishe]

There are currently no emoji in Alfred itself. Therefore there is nothing to configure the default skin tone of.

 

As such, your feature request as it stands does not make sense. You're asking for a switch that isn't connected to anything.

 

Your best bet is to approach the authors of the above workflows and snippet collections and ask if they would implement a default skin tone (or multiple sets in the case of snippet collections).
