apply same editor/features to comments as for discussion posts and replies

In ES Groups Discussions, the edit box for creating a discussion and for replying has a short toolbar and allows one to apply emojis and to tag other users (e.g., @Gary Ross). However, these features are missing in the edit box for comments. My client is asking me to make these features (emojis and tagging users) available also in comments.

Is there a setting to turn these on for comments?

Is there a way for me to apply the editor for the initial post to be used also for comments? (so that the features of the first edit box are available in the replies edit box)
