Yvan, David, and Jean-Christophe,

None of your versions work properly for me, running Script Debugger 6.0.5
(6A205) on macOS 10.11.6:

  *   There is a long (~5 sec) delay after the "tell menu 1"
  *   My Emoji menu item is menu item 1

Here is my solution, which may require changing some of the script properties
based on your system's language:
http://forum.latenightsw.com/t/how-do-i-select-favorites-on-emoji-symbols-window/727/12?u=jmichaeltx

My script adds the following features:

  *   Uses the Emoji menu item in the current app's Edit menu
  *   Since the position can vary by app, selection is done by name
  *   Positions the Emoji window near the current mouse or center of window.
  *   Auto-selects the Emoji Favorites folder

As you can see it is in the SD6 forum, where I prefer to post because it is a
real forum, with code blocks, and is very searchable.

If you have questions/issues about my script, I'd prefer you post them in the
SD6 forum, but I will answer here if need be.

Best Regards,

Jim Underwood
aka JMichaelTX

Hello

It's a neater way to identify the menu bar item to trigger but to get the
entire job done I had to edit as :

tell application "System Events"
tell process "SystemUIServer"
set keyboardExtras to first item of (menu bar items of menu bar 1 whose value
of attribute"AXDescription" = "text input")
tell keyboardExtras
perform action "AXPress" # Reveal the menu items
tell menu 1
--name of menu items --> {"Afficher le visualiseur de clavier", "Afficher les
Emoji et symboles", missing value, "Ouvrir les préférences Clavier…"}
click menu item 2
end tell # menu 1


end tell
end tell
end tell
