example: selecting “kelly” is a needless chore, because you have to sift through a bunch of kelly emojis to find the one named kelly. similar things happen with “slammer” and several others.

the canonical name of an emoji should always have precedence over keywords in the picker

    would adding “kelly” to the tags of :kelly: do it you think? it would double match then

    I also am seeing in the code that we seem to put the keywords first in the array of strings for a given emote:

    return [...customEmoji!.keywords.map(y => y.keyword), customEmoji!.custom_emoji.shortcode].join(',');

    Maybe re-ordering that to put shortcode first would help? I haven’t used that library so idk

    Or maybe the library just does “once there’s an exact match shrug your arms and sort it alphabetically”. shit
