Emoji Keyboard support
With some keyboards, you have special keys to choose from an emoji list in certain text fields. It works e.g. with the standard CM 10.2 messaging app and SwiftKey, where you don't have to do the long click to insert Emojis. Would be great to have this here, too.

Just curious if you're asking for a emoji to be inserted based on a text representation. Using swype with the stock messaging app, if I type :-), it automatically puts the smiley emoji in the message. Likewise, if someone sends me a :-), I automatically see the smiley picture. In textra, it seems that if I type :-), that is what I send and receive.
