Rocket.chat: Only propose emojis for default tone while typing a colon ( : )

[Otiel]

While typing a colon character (:), it can be a bit overwhelming and hard to find the emoji you're looking for because of all the emoji variants that exist:

• :emoji:
• :emoji_tone1:
• :emoji_tone2:
• :emoji_tone3:
• :emoji_tone4:
• :emoji_tone5:

How about we'd propose only the emoji corresponding to the default tone selected in the emoji panel?

@Otiel Howdy I sent a PR up, while it doesn't set the default tone to the default emoji panel (just default emoji in general), it does clear up the search, if one then types :handball_t, (or :handball_to, :handball_ton, etc) the tones appear, so one can get the tones without taking hands off the keyboard

Closing as this feature is not on our short term roadmap, we will revisit once other priorities have been addressed.

@SeanPackham There’s already an open PR for that issue. Someone just needs to approve it :)

Seems weird to close issues because they're not on your "short term roadmap". Issues are usually closed when they're :

• invalid
• resolved
• won't fix

By closing them, you're making it harder for people to find if the issue/feature request has already been reported.

@kaiiiiiiiii thank you for pointing out the open PR, I will reopen the issue.

@Otiel what do you think of using https://forums.rocket.chat/c/feature-requests to discuss and upvote features?

[Otiel]

@SeanPackham I didn't know about the forums, I'll take my future feature requests there first. Thanks for the info! 👌

Maybe you should update the README to inform about the existence of these forums? Because the current README says:

Issues

Github Issues are used to track todos, bugs, feature requests, and more.

@Otiel thank you we will update the readme!

@Otiel looking forward to discuss issue ideas with you on the forum :)
