Inline emoji picker

[lynton-dev]

It would be great if an emoji picker was included with KeyType. Right now I have to use another app just for inline emoji picking. For reference, Cotabby has implemented this feature quite nicely.

How it works is pretty simple; typing a colon followed by emoji search like ":smile" and a pop-up with the emoji search results appears. Use arrow keys to select the desired emoji in the pop-up then hitting Tab will insert the selected emoji inline.

In fact, as another example I just noticed that the Github website has this functionality built-in as I type this FR (see screenshot below). Of course, this only works on Github so not universally useful.

Thanks for the interest and feature request. I'm happy to implement this at some point.

That said, I will spend the next few releases optimizing toward lower latency and higher quality of completions, as this is what most users want immediately.

Will keep the issue open and implement this when I get the chance. Since you're a dev, I'm also open to a PR to allow this feature to ship immediately!
