XF 2.2 smiley "autocorrect" - what is this editor feature called ?

[Digital Doctor]

When I type :sar .... I get this smiley dropdown.

It works here too ... just type :sar

What is this editor feature called ?

Are there other examples of this behavior being used by xenforo or other addons ?

:sar (on Xenforo.com)



of course it's also used for user mentions like this ..


Anything else ?

The system which provides the backbone for smilies/emojis and mentions is called "auto complete".
