Feature Idea: Pin Emojis to Top

[nabeelvalley]

Often I find myself using a specific subset of emojis (particularly via the Gitmoji site)

It would be useful if I could Pin a specific emoji to the top of the list so that I don't have to scroll to find/search for the emoji

Hey @nabeelvalley 👋 That would be a nice improvement do you have time and will to implement it? 😄

I'm dying for showing "latest 7 used" instead of the current ones, and access with a number instead of arrow keys. I could help implementing it

edit: sorry i thought this was the gitmoji-cli repo 😅

How about a right-click menu? something like this

The problem with adding just a context menu (aka right-click menu), is the lack of affordance to the user, there is no way for a user to identify that this action exists, and interacting with this by keyboard is also not ideal.

The context menu comes as a good addition to an already present intractable button on the ui, but as a stand-alone it losses a lot of it's value.

I like the idea of a context menu, I think it's more elegant than only adding the "pin" action to the card, if you want to provide a design suggestion of said "more button", it is welcomed, taking into consideration the discussion already present on the related PR from @johannchopin

Indeed, the implementation and use of a context menu (for computers and phones) is not necessarily great. We will have to see in the future if someone has the time and desire to do it!"
