How to use emoji/global key on Mac with one click for multiple emojis?

I can use the global/emoji key on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro when typing to bring up the emoji list to click on and insert into what I am typing. However, I can either have the small viewer and insert one character at a time, or expand that view and have the larger emoji viewer and double click the emoji to insert multiple at a time.

Is there a way where I can single click to insert multiple emojis in a row like I can on the iPhone? For example, if I want to insert three smiley face emojis on my iPhone, that takes 3 clicks. On my Mac, I either have to click the global key to open the emoji keyboard before each emoji, or if I have the expanded emoji menu open, I have to double click each emoji twice.

Is there a way to do this with fewer keystrokes and clicks, like on my iPhone?
