[Feature Request] Emoji shorthand auto complete #132

Open ZXSwire3 opened 3 years ago

ZXSwire3 commented 3 years ago

The current emoji short hands have been a nice addition, however it is still pretty inconvenient to use them because it does not autocomplete the rest of the shorthand, for most of the ones that I would like to use it is still nice like for : smile : , but for any of the emojis with longer names it just makes more sense to open the emoji menu and search for it in there, which completely defeats the purpose of having the shorthand in the first place. For example you have to write : face_with_monocle : without the spaces to get the write emoji.

To add onto this autocomplete feature, it would be nice to not just autocomplete, but also show they user what is the emoji that it is going to autocomplete into as shown in the discord example, you also can see other emojis with similar shorthands, like : face_with_raised_eyebrow : and : smiling_face_with_three_hearts :

That's pretty cool. I had this problem the other day when I assumed :cowboy: would be good enough, but it was actually :face_with_cowboy_hat:

This would be the next step, but will take some time to create an autocomplete input. Should be doable though :)

All the features/bugs are currently on hold, as I am rewriting the code base to use Vue 3, Electron 11, and TypeScript. This should improve debugging and most likely performance. Once I get it going, this will be coming next đź‘Ť
