• The feature is quite reliable in AppKit text editors such as TextEdit, Notes, and Calendar. • It works in Catalyst apps like Messages and Books, but there’s a refresh bug. Press an arrow key after typing a few letters to make suggestions appear.

• It doesn’t have a WebKit implementation, so this new command will not work when drafting emails or reminders. Emoji suggestions appear in search fields. Restore to defaults with: sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Stickers InlineEmojiSearch
