Hey, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve been AFK for a while due to health issues, so I suspect this is a regression/compatibility error with the latest Inkdrop version since I haven’t had a chance to update the plugin for a while, but will make this a priority as soon as I’m back. If not, will try to shamelessly recruit my illustrious partner in crime @Ryan_McQuen to take over (who never has anything better to do anyway ).

It’s broken since v5.5.0 due to the update of Electron.

ebigram/emojisense/blob/63843e91a0e0f5a29d9ff05401bc58acac3fccc9/src/emojisense.js#L8

      
        
            "use strict";
            "use babel";
            
            
const _eventKit = require("event-kit");
            
            
const CodeMirror = require("codemirror");
            
            
const app = require("electron").remote.app;
            
            
const modulePath = app.getAppPath() + "/node_modules/";
            
            
require(modulePath + "codemirror/addon/hint/show-hint"); //require("codemirror/addon/hint/show-hint")
            
            

            
const {
                EmojiProvider
            } = require("./EmojiProvider");

You can simply replace require('electron').remote to require('@electron/remote') to fix the issue.

Feel better, @ebigram!

Hi @anon87683046, can you try the latest version please?

Thank all for the well wishes, feel embarrassed since it is such an easy/obvious fix, but sometimes that is the nature with chronic illness (!). I will try to be available here for the time being.

It works wonderfully, thank you very much.
