Per Language Configuration
*Emojisense* is enabled by default in markdown, git commits, and plaintext files. You can enable it in other languages using "emojisense.languages"
The language keys here come from VS Code's list of language identifiers.
You can also change the settings for each language. Here's the default emojisense configuration for example:
Whenever a value is left unspecified, the top level setting is used instead. In this case, markdown files will fallback to use the top level emojisense.unicodeCompletionsEnabled and emojisense.markupCompletionsEnabled settings, while plaintext files will have markupCompletionsEnabled disabled and fallback to the emojisense.unicodeCompletionsEnabled setting.
You can enable emojisense for all languages using *:
