the emoji picker has a bug: keywords take precedence over the actual name of the emoji (hexbear.net)

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

limitations of the emoji picker library, unfortunately. can only give it a list of strings to search through.

This is ultra annoying if you look for "laugh", since they show up in alphabetical order you get all the "agony" emoji first, which makes no sense.

Yeah the Kelly thing is a pain point for me
