Controllercons are a set of video game controller icons created primarly for web use. This plugin allows you to embed them directly into your WordPress content using the wysiwyg editor.
HOW TO USE 
The Controllercons plugin will add a new icon within the wysiwyg editor within the WordPress admin. Click on the Toolbar icon to expand the toolbar view and you will see the Controllercons icon.
Clicking this icon will reveal all of the controller icons that can be embedded into your content. Click on any of them to automatically place the icon.
Icons will appear as shortcodes when editing a post but can be viewed when previewing and publishing content
SHORTCODE 
Whilst the easiest method of using Controllercons is via the wysiwyg editor you can also use the shortcode anywhere within your content.
<pre><code>[controllercon id="" size=""]
</code></pre>
The ID parameter is the controller reference and size is an optional parameter should you wish to use it. The size paramemeter accepts any number (decimals included) or fixed values i.e. 10px, 1.2rem or 1.4em. By default the size will be a <code>em</code> value so a size of 2 will return 2em.
Shortcodes can also be used in your site template files using the following function <code><?php echo do_shortcode( '[controllercon id="snes" size="1"]' ); ?></code>
Below is a list of controller references:

Controllercons

Embed video game icons directly into your site.

Joris van Montfort

Add icons to any rich text field in the WordPress block editor. Insert icons inline in paragraphs, headings, lists, buttons, or use the dedicated single icon block.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Icon picker – Select icons from a searchable popup in the block editor toolbar.</li>
<li>Font Awesome included – Ships with Font Awesome 4.7, 5.x and 6.x. Choose your preferred version from the settings.</li>
<li>Custom SVG icon set – Upload your own SVG icons via a drag & drop uploader in the plugin settings. This is the recommended approach for the best performance.</li>
<li>Single icon block – A dedicated block with font size, color, alignment and spacing options.</li>
<li>ACF integration – Adds a “JVM Icon” field type for Advanced Custom Fields.</li>
</ul>

<h4>How it works</h4>
Pick an icon from the toolbar while editing any rich text field. The plugin inserts a small HTML tag that gets styled by the chosen icon set.
<h4>Why use a custom SVG icon set?</h4>
When you use a custom SVG icon set, the plugin defaults to inline SVG rendering. This is a great choice for performance! Google PageSpeed Insights will thank you.
<ul>
<li>Better page speed – No render-blocking CSS or font files to download. Icons are part of the HTML itself.</li>
<li>Only loads what you use – Unlike Font Awesome which loads CSS for hundreds of icons, inline SVG only includes the icons that are actually on the page.</li>
<li>No external requests – Everything is served inline, so there are no extra HTTP requests for font or CSS files.</li>
<li>Inherits text color – Icons automatically use the surrounding text color, no extra CSS needed.</li>
<li>Fully reversible – The stored content in the database is not modified. You can switch between render technologies at any time from the plugin settings if you want to.</li>
</ul>
Alternative render technologies (CSS masks, ::before / ::after pseudo-elements) are also available for custom SVG icons if your use case requires it.
<h4>For developers</h4>
The plugin provides several filter hooks to customize its behavior. You can load your own icon set, CSS file, or change the icon class prefix.
Load a custom icon set file
<pre><code>add_filter( 'jvm_richtext_icons_iconset_file', function($file) {
 return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/path_to_my/icons.json';
});
</code></pre>
Load a custom CSS file
<pre><code>add_filter( 'jvm_richtext_icons_css_file', function($cssfile) {
 return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/path_to_my/cssfile.css';
});
</code></pre>
To disable the default CSS file entirely:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'jvm_richtext_icons_css_file', '__return_false');
</code></pre>
Change the icon class prefix
<pre><code>add_filter( 'jvm_richtext_icons_base_class', function() {
 return 'my-custom-css-class-name';
});
</code></pre>
Disable the settings screen
<pre><code>add_filter( 'jvm_richtext_icons_show_settings', '__return_false');
</code></pre>
Please note that if you are loading a custom icon set with the plugin hook: <code>jvm_richtext_icons_css_file</code>, you should make sure the plugin is not set to My SVG uploads as this setting does not load any CSS file.

JVM Rich Text Icons

Thank you so much for the plugin, Joris! I am using a modded version of this plugin to insert a custom icon pack that I created. It was so easy to configure.

You have my utmost respect for this amazing plugin.

Incredible and Highly Extensible

Even though the plugin could not be activated due to a syntax error (which I fixed it - to be more accurate - bypassed it), it eliminates the need for me to create a similar block with ACF Pro for my projects, so thank you for this plugin.

Does one job, and does it well.

I can imagine something like this becoming part of core. Very well developed essential addon for the block editor

great gutenberg addon

Insert icons anywhere in your content — inline in text, headings, buttons, or as a standalone block.
