Emojipicker / shortcuts for tags
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to visually disambiguate tags easily. Emojis can be used but are difficult to enter on a lot of systems and there's nothing indicating they can be used.
Describe the solution you'd like
Either have an emoji picker alongside the tag name entry or enable shortcuts like :smile.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Originally this issue was about adding an emoji field to tags just like it exists for pages. But emojis are already possible within the tags.
- You can already use different colors to achieve something similar. Emojis could of course be more specific than a color.
Additional context An additional benefit: when using tags to set the type of a page, you could use the same emojis as you do in your template for that page type already. (Would be great combined with #1931 as well)
You can already use emojis in your tags. After all they are just characters:
You can still search the emoji in question by only typing the part after the emoji. The only issue there is #1950.
@noantiq Would there be any benefit from treating emojis special in tags?
Maybe an emoji picker would still be worthwhile o indicate this is possible though.
@max-nextcloud thanks! You are totally right of course, I simply did not think of that.
So, yes an emoji picker would be useful, since you also can't use ":" to start an inline search for emojis as in Text.
