Bug ID: 466626
Summary: Add an (on-by-default) option to auto-convert text
emoticons to emoji
Classification: Applications
Product: NeoChat
Version: 23.01.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: fe...@posteo.de
Reporter: ngomp...@gmail.com
CC: c...@carlschwan.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Most contemporary popular chat clients (Discord, Slack, Telegram, etc.)
automatically convert text emoticons into emoji characters (for example, ";)"
-> "😉"). NeoChat does not currently offer this capability. Please add the
ability to do this, and for those who don't like it, have an option to toggle
off the behavior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open NeoChat and enter a room
2. Type a text emoticon (like ";)", ":D", "^^;", etc.)
OBSERVED RESULT
It does nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should automatically change to the corresponding emoji character.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 38 (KDE Plasma)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is apparently supported in KMail, so some code for doing this exists
elsewhere. It might be worth lifting that for NeoChat.
