Glyph Search

Opinionated glyph picker that allows you to paste pretty arrows (←→), special keys (⌃⌘⇧⌫) and other cool stuff (❖◇♡♥★☆) without opening Character Viewer

Why was this extension created?

Character Viewer on macOS isn't that great (for example, it doesn't work in some apps like VS Code and Figma, which is a big deal for me), so whenever I needed a pretty arrow, &middot or a ⌘, I just copied it from the Inter homepage. This extension is basically the charset section of that page, but reorganized a little so that it is quicker to find pretty arrows

Why are some characters included, and some not?

This extension uses the Inter character set. The goal of this extension is not to replace the Character Viewer altogether, but to provide a faster alternative for frequently used characters that probably did not make it onto your keyboard

Acknowledgements

This extension uses glyphs from Inter. Thanks to Rasmus Andersson (and everyone who contributed to Inter) for making such a wonderful font (btw, also huge thanks for making the Glyphs page with downloadable character SVGs, you saved me a lot of time while making this extension 😁)
