Pressing lowercase e brings up emoji window and lowercase d brings up dictation.

Since upgrading to macOS Monterey I have had an issue when pressing lowercase e and d in a game called Habbo. I've reached out to them but said it is not an issue with their game. The game worked 100% prior to upgrading. Uppercase e and d do not have the issue. It is bringing up the macOS windows not the games windows. I have looked in my shortcuts and else where and I do not see anything saying e or d should do this and it is only doing it in this game. Any suggestions on how to disable these features entirely so their windows do not come up?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Hi, I had problems with the E key too. Please try the following and see if it works.


  1. Click the Apple logo on the top right hand corner and go to "System Preferences..."
  2. Go to keyboard
  3. Click the Shortcuts tab and go to App Shortcuts
  4. Click the '+' sign and put Habbo as the application
  5. Under Menu Title, input 'Emoji & Symbols'
  6. For Keyboard Shortcut, press Option + Command + E
  7. Click add
  8. Try typing E on Habbo and it should work


Note: Application must be Habbo and not Habbo Launcher.


It worked for me, hope it works for you too! :)
