If all macOS 15 does is remove that stupid emoji-palette-blocking autocomplete popup that Sonoma added, I will be happy. Adding an extra step to something I do a hundred times a day, without giving an option to turn it off? Genius.

It's even better that invoking the keyboard shortcut twice bypasses it… — *except* when it doesn't have an emoji to autocomplete, and then the double-shortcut presents then immediately dismisses the emoji palette instead

⚠️ Looks like Sonoma's new annoying emoji popup interstitial is enabled by feature flag! Which means you can nuke it from orbit (it's the only way to be sure). Reboot after:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist emoji_enhancements -dict-add Enabled -bool NO

@stroughtonsmith Do you know of a feature flag to disable the caps-lock popup? That one also bugs me. Think it’s also new in Sonoma.
@tomhartnett redesigned_text_cursor I think?
