Boostnote: Feature Request: Emoji Library

[codingmatty]

In the spirit of markdown and personalization, it would be awesome if Boostnote shipped with a small emoji library that could also be customized with the end result being :wink: => 😉

Since priority of this issue is low, we will check it if you send us PR, is it possible?

[ronaiza-cardoso]

I can do this!

Wow, great! @yesroh

I'll chime in with a tiny request: please consider allowing Emojis to be completely disabled (like the Slack client does), in order not to burden startup time with lots of PNGs.

@codingmatty Thank you for your opinion :smile: We need to consider it before we try to implement our own emojis. But Boostnote works at completely local. So I assume It's never very slow even if there are a lot of PNG emojis in a note.

So.. After perusing the codebase a tiny bit, I realized you already have an emoji library built in via markdown-it-emoji.
It would be great to have support for autocomplete/search emoji library and being able to add custom emojis, but those are just nice-to-haves, and certainly not requirements..

@codingmatty I might overlook something - but is it already possible to use that built-in emoji support? Simple emojis aren't converted for me, and I couldn't find any other documentation about it. Any advice would be appreaciated

Edit: Okay, just found it - it "only" supports the :something: notation style, so this would be a proper cheat sheet for those: https://gist.github.com/roachhd/1f029bd4b50b8a524f3c

I hoped for something that supports my accustomed emojis, like :-) and ;-) or 8)

@kazup01 As it seems, by default the markdown-it-emoji has shortcuts for those smileys, have they been disabled on purpose in Boostnote?

I think this is a more useful cheat sheet: https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908#file-gistfile1-md.
Boostnote icon set is black & white, can I replace it with my own?

This issue was closed a few times ago but I can't see the result of it in the app.
I would love as well to have some kind of emoji autocompletion while I don't know the emoji name by heart.
Something like that extension in VSCode :
I don't know if it is that hard to do has you already have the markdown-it-emoji library? But I would love to have that feature in Boostnote.
