Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is not a problem. This is a feature request to allow shortnames for custom emoji to not require a colon at the beginning and end of the shortname.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, when creating or importing a custom emoji, the shortname requires a colon ( : ) before and after the shortname:
example:
:myCustomEmoji:
This solution would allow for shortnames that don't require the colons.
Example:
myCustomEmoji
In the JSON, it would look like this (after adding this feature):
[{"sn":"myCustomEmoji","url":"data:image...." ...
Describe alternatives you've considered
This doesn't have an easy workaround. I haven't modified the underlying javascript code to remove the colons, but I suspect this is possible but requires CLI access and knowledge of the plugin's code structure.
Additional context
When linking peertube live chat with Twitch, custom emoji on twitch often do not have the colons in the emoji shortname. This means that even with the same name for a custom emoji on Twitch and PeerTube Live Chat, they won't show up in the other service's chat as rendered due to the emoji shortnames being different.
