I love using emoticons but it's so difficult to click on them. If I have a mouse, it would be easier. This is the reason why I made shortcuts. This being said, I'll no longer click on them. I'll just type them anytime I want to. Cool? Of course!
Turn on your Dictionary and Auto-correction then add hot keys to your Keyboard Shortcuts. If you are using Apple, go to Settings - General - Keyboards - Shortcuts. Click on the + sign and add the username and shortcut you want. I think all brands have these options.
Example: In Phrase field, I typed [ em]happy[/em] and in Shortcut field, I typed hap. So whenever I type the shortcut hap, my dictionary has 2 suggestions, hap and [ em]happy[/em ]. As soon as I press on space tab, a happy emoticon is typed. I put spaces here to show you the complete word that's why you're not seeing a happy emoticon.
Feel free to copy if you like. It's not easy to get all of these by clicking on each of them. I'll be so happy if you'll copy. I also attached the screen shot of some of the shortcuts I made. Please remove the space between [ and em. I put it to show you the complete word.

I use the emoticons for almost everyone of my posts. I like using them as they show my feelings on that particular posts. I have been using them since was a member of the old mylot. Back then, we were limited to only three per post, but now there is no limit, howeever, I still use just a few, and sometimes I only use one on each post. I am not sure if using to many offends others or what, so I would rather not use very many, as I don't want to upset anyone.

@rahulvsmokiee, I hope it will also work for you. I think my posts will have more emoticons starting today. This is not case sensitive.
I tried using all caps. It worked. [ EM]HAPPY[/EM]
I also tried capitalizing the first letter only. It also worked. [ Em]happy[/em]
