Emoji For Hangouts allows you to type emoji in Google Hangouts with ease. You no longer have to scroll through a long list of emoji. Instead you can just use Discord-like shortcuts. For example, :thinking: -> 🤔 :hamburger: -> 🍔 :cowboy: -> 🤠

This extension has no graphical interface - instead it just works in any Hangouts chat. If you type a partial emoji name, you can use the tab key to cycle through possibilities, sorted by frequency of use.
