Our team thinks it would be great, if emojis could be selected in a menu and not through shortcode (like in messenger services). Most of our team is a bit older than emojis and is used to selecting them through menus. Not a big change, but maybe easy to implement.
If you have Macs, the shortcut to see an emoji keyboard is control > command > space bar. Not sure what the shortcut is for PC, but I imagine there would be one.
We donβt work on Macs. The Windows version is much to complex. It makes more sense to learn the shortcode in the time it takes to always open the touch keyboard.
