A comprehensive emoji shortcode autocomplete system has been added. When you type : followed by an emoji name in the chat input, a suggestion popup appears showing matching emoji. Typing :thumbs suggests :thumbs_up: 👍, :thumbsdown: 👎, etc. Selecting a suggestion inserts the emoji character inline.
The feature is enabled by default. To turn it off, set emojiCompletionEnabled to false in user settings.
Details
- The suggestion popup appears after
:and filters in real time as you type - Suggestions are ranked by prefix match first, then by name length
- Up to a configurable number of suggestions are shown at once
- Multi-code-point emoji (family groups, flags, ZWJ sequences) are included
Evidence
Emoji shortcode search function (search for "emoji:" in suggestion IDs) and new setting (search for "the :emoji: shortcode typeahead")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
