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

I wonder though how many use emoji to actively work around content filtering?
Liked it when Carrie Fisher made all her tweets into a Rosetta Stone of heiriglyphics for all to untangle.

Or marching back to the Tower of Babel, perhaps.
I don’t think glyphs are necessarily the instant Esperanto many feel they might be. For software ‘localization’ they are often too novel and ambiguous to even suggest function.
