Wee-slack: Feature request: tab completion of slack emoji

[rawdigits]

Hitting tab after a ":" or ":partialword" should cycle through emoji from the supported list.

[kattrali]

I started on this in weemoji but didn't have any success with getting tab completion working for some reason. It could use a second set of eyes if it makes sense there, or I wouldn't mind moving it to here.

It would be nice if this feature took the way you can add reactions into account as well, so it works when you start to type a reaction, not only when you type a standalone emoji.

Examples of typing a reaction:

+:smile:
2+:smile:
-:smile:
2-:smile

This script does emoji completition, but not all slack aliases are supported I suspect, but I guess could be added: https://weechat.org/files/scripts/pending/emoji.lua

This has been mostly added in 1.0-RC1. One needs to symlink/copy weemoji.json into ~/.weechat, and append |%(emoji) to weechat.completion.default_template, I believe.

I can confirm that the above instructions worked for me.

[trygveaa]

Instructions for enabling this has now been added in the readme with PR #437, so I'm closing this. My request for it to work for reactions still stands though, but I think that's more difficult to solve.

Just for others who may run into this - a /python reload was necessary for me after following instructions in the README to get weechat to pick up on the tab completions.

[skrat]

@trygveaa I think that /python reload line that @wohali suggested should go in the docs, to avoid confusion on why isn't it working when following the docs

[trygveaa]

@skrat: Done.
