I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

    If I type :hand then [Win+;] I expect the hand emoji section to be shown, or at least the search box to be auto-filled.
    I don’t want to touch the mouse to select an emoji, I just type, select (with keyboard) and go on with my writing.
    Changing focus to type a search term in a small pupup is non productive.

    I rechecked just now, the search field is gone in Win11, even more useless now… M$ is not even trying, too focused on adding spyware lol
