Improve emoji typeahead/autocomplete to show scrollable list instead of truncated (10) list

Created by: Epi-JJones

Currently, starting to type an emoji (e.g. :a) provides a truncated list of the first 10 emoji that begin with that letter, alphabetically sorted. Of course there are many more than 10 emoji that begin with "a", and even :arrow has more than 10 emoji.

Minimal Resolution

At the very least, I would like to see the autocomplete popup have a complete scrollable list of all the emoji that begin with the typed characters (tall enough for the first 10 to show, with a scrollbar to the side).

Ideal Resolution

Ideally, the list would initially show just the first ten, and if there are more have a "X more... ▾" button at the bottom. If the user clicks (taps, or navigates to with arrow keys) the more button, the full list would be loaded with a scroll bar as per the minimal suggestion.

👍 to having a scrolling list with a max height, similar to the iOS client. Having a smaller max height also makes the list seem less "jumpy" when typing or when things come back from the network.

You could make it with tabs like in WhatsApp so you have categories to find the smilies faster!
