Setting to configure the number of recent emojis #2445

Description

@mathe00

Currently, the maximum number of recent emojis is hardcoded to 32 in config.xml (config_emoji_keyboard_max_recents_key_count). There is no user-facing setting to change this value.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user who uses many different emojis regularly, the recents tab fills up quickly and older emojis I still use get pushed out. There is no way to increase this limit without recompiling the app.

Describe the solution you'd like

A setting (e.g. in Preferences > Emoji) to let users configure the max number of recent emojis, with 32 as the default value.

Use case

I frequently use more than 32 different emojis. Once the recents list is full, emojis I still need get removed to make room for new ones. Being able to increase the limit would save me from having to search for emojis I use regularly but not as often as the most recent ones.

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any)

Forking and recompiling with a higher value, but this is impractical for most users.
