How am I just now discovering that pressing the fn key with the cursor in any input on macOS triggers opening the native emoji picker?? 😲
How did I not know this before now? Is this new in the latest / a recent version of macOS??
Seems the answer is no, it is not new. This feature/ability has apparently been available in macOS for years. Feel a bit foolish I didn't know about it until today. Totally accident too. I accidentally hit the fn key when I meant to press ctrl instead, and the picker popped up. Wish I'd known about this a long time ago.
