Suggestion: Option to auto-select first emoji result #1039

Open ConnorJC3 opened 1 year ago

Describe the problem

When typing emoji, my muscle memory, built up over years of using Slack, is to type :, followed by the start of the emoji name, followed by Enter. On Cinny, this sends the message halfway through using it. Even after using Cinny for some time, I still accidentally send a message with emojis in it probably close to half the time.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make the emoji selection work like slack: the first option is automatically selected after you start typing an emoji, and you can press enter to finish the autocomplete. Of course, not everyone will like this, so probably a toggle between this and the old behavior is appropriate.

Alternatives considered

This could maybe be done with a user script, but it would be janky and prone to breakage.

Additional context

Willing to PR this if it would be accepted.

Tab is what is currently used, and I agree that should probably be changed to that kind of autocomplete. An extra bonus feature would be arrow key navigation so you don’t even have to touch your mouse!
