We can now transform emojis right in the textarea without contenteditable and we should do it today!!!
This currently works in our own textareas because these are real characters and not images. THEREFORE we must transform it when someone types an emoji. :satisfied:
Should transform into ::
with regex and do a replace with the actual matched character. Nothing else would need to be done to make this work. It would be really really easy.
This gif is from GL today:

Who wants it?
Also we can transform all shortcuts. Like :-)
, :-P
etc.
