Problem:

Add :emojicode: selectors when editing messages.

Solution:

As a NewDot user I have become accustomed to being able to express myself with emojis, and the default way I do that is by typing :emojicodes:. However, when editing an existing message, we have an emoji picker, but no support for :emojicodes:

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Add :emojicode: selectors when editing messages

What is the root cause of that problem?

New Feature

What changes do you think we should make in order

We use ComposerWithSuggestions for normal message input (which has emoji and mention suggestions),

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Line 409 in 964548a

<ComposerWithSuggestions

but use the basic Composer for Editing messages.:

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionItemMessageEdit.tsx

Line 413 in 964548a

<Composer

We should configure the ReportActionItemMessageEdit to use ComposerWithSuggestions
