MarkEdit-quick-emoji

Suggests emoji as you type emoticons like :) or Hi:), using MarkEdit's autocomplete dropdown. Choose a suggestion to replace the emoticon, or dismiss the list to keep your text. Command-Z undoes an accepted suggestion.

Suggestions are hidden in parsed code, HTML, front matter, and URLs. Incomplete Markdown may still show suggestions.
