Can I choose several emojis to form a group? And configure its navigation and header？ about emoji-picker-react HOT 5 OPEN

I came here looking for the same, and see its been raised a few times earlier as well:

1. #216
2. #350

Basically - it would be great if its possible to create a custom group from a set of emojis (not custom), and open into that on 1st load

from emoji-picker-react.

See this nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element#323, as an alternate. Though I prefer a custom group since it does not limit the number of selected emoji.

Sorry for responding late. I have been traveling the past several weeks.

That's an interesting proposal. So if I understand the ask correctly, we're talking about a group that's comprised of just any emoji, not necessarily belonging to the same group, right?

Follow up questions:

1. What would be the icon for that category? Is part of the proposal adding custom group icons?
2. Will emojis be able to appear more than once, meaning - once in the "favorites group" and once in their original group?

Here's a counter-offer, LMK what you think:
Update the suggested category feature to have another, third option: "SUGGESTED"
Currently the suggested category has: either "frequent" or "recent", the third option suggested would be a predefined list defined by you.

What do you think?

Thanks for the reply.

First, I wish I could customize the icon, but this is not a core point.
Second, it's true that the emoji appears multiple groups

This is a great program and could have this third option, "SUGGESTED" meet my demand

So if I understand the ask correctly, we're talking about a group that's comprised of just any emoji, not necessarily belonging to the same group, right?

Yup, thats right. Its a selection from the emoji master list, based on whatever requirement the dev has in mind.

What would be the icon for that category? Is part of the proposal adding custom group icons?

Allowing this to be customizable would be quite perfect.

Will emojis be able to appear more than once, meaning - once in the "favorites group" and once in their original group?

Yes! Placement into the fav (aka custom) group is only to help the end user with a quick selection, and doesnt affect the original groups / tabs / functionality etc.

Currently the suggested category has: either "frequent" or "recent", the third option suggested would be a predefined list defined by you.

Yes, thats exactly how I envisaged it, which is why I was pointing to nolanlawson/emoji-picker-element#323, where its implemented as a bar, and that limits the number of emoji, whereas in case of this package, it can be a custom group and hence many (say 12) emoji can be displayed for quick selection.
