unable to enable/disable emoji display #15

Closed alohawolf closed 4 years ago

control-e nor setting emoji=0 effects emoji display

It may be helpful for things like this, to have a status line on the bottom, I just can't think of what else might be useful yet to put in there, what other state changes there could be

Is this affecting the contact list or the messages view? Or perhaps the text input field? I believe it's working fine for the messages view, but there might be some bug for the others.

Hi @alohawolf - do you have some more information about this issue?

To me it looks like Telegram itself does not permit emojis in contact/group names, so I think there's nothing to enable/disable there.

As for the chat history, I believe Ctrl+e works fine to enable/disable showing emojis / vs their textual counter-part.

For the message input field, Ctrl+e does not have immediate effect on already entered text, due to some complexity, but it does have the intended effect for typing going forward.

Telegram does allow emoji in contact/group names, but not in usernames.

I was expecting it to disable them in visible usernames as well as text content in the chats

Ah thanks! I was using web.telegram.com which did not permit emoji in the names, but in the android app I'm able. Okay, will take a look at this!
