inserting emojis from keyboard

codestumbler opened this issue · 3 comments

On threema desktop it would be amazing to insert emojis from the keyboard.
a suggestion is to open the emoji context menu with their identifier strings when hitting the colon key, with subsequent regex-ing. E.g. :wink+enter produces 😉
Thanks and keep up the good work!

If you hover over an emoji in the selector, you can see its shortcode.

In the compose area, simply type that shortcode (e.g. :smile:) and it should get replaced. Does this cover your feature request?

(We simply don't have autocompletion for this feature. That's tracked in #433.)

Sorry i didn´t see #433. Yeah, that covers it, thanks!
