On mac you don’t need the emoji suggestion you add emoji with a keyboard shortcut. Ctrl+cmd+space

In the latest version of windows 10 you can input emoji by pressing Win + ;

Did you try the command Win + ; While typing in a text box?

When you do that the emoji box comes up 👌

Keep in mind that the exact combination depends on the keyboard layout. It may vary if you don't have an international keyboard.

The emoji suggestion is so much faster though!! I used Opt+cmd+space for a long time, and much prefer :emojiname:
