Replace emoji not completed with company

[Stebalien]

Currently, if you write out an emoji code but don't end up using company to complete it, it won't be converted to a unicode emoji. It would be nice if company-emoji could, e.g., populate an abbrev table with mappings of emoji short codes to emoji unicode symbols so that this could happen.

Note: I'm not suggesting that company-emoji do a search-and-replace on the document, just replace emoji as they're typed.

It's a good idea, but is it possible from within company? Or would there have to be some external change hook after each keypress?

(Also, sorry for not replying sooner! This got buried in my notifications.)

My suggestion is to use abbrev (builtin to emacs). However, that might be out of the scope of this package...

[dunn]

Ha, as you might have guessed I didn't understand how abbrev worked. It might be out of scope, but I'll take a look!

[Stebalien]

Alternatively (well, additionally), it would be nice to split the emoji database into separate package (so that someone else could write, e.g., abbrev-emoji without having to include the entire database).

[dunn]

Oh, that's a good idea. I'll try to get to it this week.

I split the list into a separate file with ea0af0c, but I haven't made it a separate package yet.

Thanks!
