Huh, this must be new on macOS Sierra? I'm still on El Capitan where it
definitely does not work that way 😉
If so it may be a reason to upgrade, as adding the winking emoji just there was
a pain in the arse.
In that case though I'm not sure what extra support Swift really needs, as
key-combo plus type-to-search ought to be more than fast enough, no need to
overburden auto-complete etc.
