Since most people won't have memorized lots of emoji names, it would be helpful 
for the markdown editor to provide prompts/help for it.

One method would be with the [CodeMirror 
hint](https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#addon_show-hint) addon.  So as 
soon as you type `:` it starts showing suggestions.  SimpleMDE is the package 
we use for markdown editors, and that is built on CodeMirror.  Both of which 
are due for an upgrade, if that helps at all.

A button in the toolbar would be helpful too for people that don't even know 
that `:foo:` shortcode format is a thing.  It could suggest some popular ones, 
potentially with a search for more (but not sure how easy that is).  Buttons 
are controlled with the SimpleMDE config.
