Auto-applied inline tools in Editor.js

Question

For a large project I am currently looking into the capabilities of https://editorjs.io/. The documentation is very helpful but I can't find information about the following question. Is there a way to auto-convert user input at the time of writing without using the inline toolbar but rather by listening to the user input. Let me give you a few examples to make things clearer:

• auto-link a URL at the time it is entered
• support user mentions triggered by starting input with a @ character
• support hashtag autocompletion triggered by starting a word with a # character
• support emoji selection triggered by starting a word with a : character

I do not want to add an inline tool to provide a button to trigger those use cases. I want to automatically apply / trigger them while the user is creating input.

Any help is appreciated.

No, there is currently no way to do so. You would need to listen for changes and overwrite the buffer. I have a similar problem and I haven't been able to found a cleaner way.
