Actually we use headings a lot, but we are _specific_ community. But aren’t they usefull on wiki posts for an example? * * * If I would decide what buttons to drop, it’d be ordered list - let’s be serious, you hit enter and input next number, who needs a button for this anyway? And also emoji button seems obsolete to me, starting to type emoticons with `:` is _natural_ for everyone, and list appearing then is absolutely sufficient. Hey! I’ve got a crazy idea! What if we were to make a site setting in `_Appearance_ tab, so every community could decide if they need only 3 buttons or 23… If I recall well, there is already a setting to enable _Details_ function in composer (or maybe spoiler?), so it wiuldn’t be a precedent.. ---

I actually almost don’t use GitHub, thank you very much. by ‘is natural for everyone’ I meant this: `:) :D :P :O :-)` Using a colon to convey emotion in Internet is as old as email. ---

That’s true, but it doesn’t help you find the name you should be using. ---

No, but it actually opens the selector in a pop-up : ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/a/da255d83b0933e338049d89ed42ad39824999763.png) ---

That’s the key. You (and I) are too old to remember that emojis started as text. Most newer generation don’t even know that. They just know emojis like part of the alphabet. Nobody who used mobiles for a while will remember that a colon starts an emoji. ---

Okay, so you believe that when using anything _with a keyboard_ and writing on Messenger, to put in 🙂 people: 1. stop typing 2. grab a mouse 3. click emoji selector button 4. click on desired emoticon Instead of just typing `: )` ? ---

Yeah. A lot of people (_gasp_) don’t even know how to touch-type. ---

I was under the impression, that we are _not_ speaking of handhelds, as they _dont contain_ any editing toolbar at all. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/c/2cde1995d50187fb1bccc0850aa3e2d54d964d4c.png) Gasp. ---

They do if you click the hamburger menu on mobile… ---

Which is so well hidden , that I wasn’t aware of its existence until you’ve mentioned it 😛 Still, are we talking about _mobile_ or about _computer_ layout here? ---

It is my assumption it was primarily around desktop usage, but thoughts need to be geared towards mobile because it exists there too. The thought being, if it works well on mobile, that design should automatically work well on desktop ---

That is not really correct. Let’s take this poor hamburger menu. On mobile it’s a necessity, on desktop it’s a disaster. I believe that on mobile emoji button **is a must** , I’d like to pop it out more even, so that you don’t have to use _three_ hits to insert emoticon, allthough I also think that on any device containing a keyboard it is _more obsolete then heading_. ---

On most touch phones, doesn’t the built-in keyboard already have an emoji button built-in? ---

> [@MakaryGo](#): > > I believe that on mobile emoji button is a must, I’d like to pop it out more even Uh, nope, violently disagree.. mobile keyboards have emoji built in, that’s the _weakest_ case for emoji button. Hell the latest version of Windows 10 press win+. and you get a native OS emoji picker. 👌 ---
