I understand. It was less of an annoyance when I had a MacBook with the Touch Bar but if you don't have the Touch Bar and you want to utilize the emojis when typing messages to friends on macOS in any fashion it is not just as easy as typing :-) and it offering to convert to an emoji. I understand if you think about it in a convoluted manner it could be difficult to add the feature however, it literally can't be that difficult if you simply allow, toggling the feature on and off. For instance, say, I am messaging a friend I can enable that keyboard it would recognize what I'm typing, suggest which ever emoji I am after and when I'm done, I can disable it then it won't mess with spotlight, search or whatever else you're pondering it could potentially cause problems with, but that is just what my minimal non-programming brain is trying to convey..


Anyway, I truly appreciate you listening and I hope you're well
