Firefox 150 disable the emoji picker

[NapoleonWils0n]

Disable the annoying emoji picker on Firefox
that comes up when you press control and two periods

Ctrl + ..

I have a keyboard shortcut to relax ublock origins blocking mode
which is set to Ctrl+Period

And the emoji picker keep popping up in text fields
instead of realxing the ublock origin command if i typed it to quickly

Not being twelve years old i have no use for emoji's

Open firefox and the about:config page

about:config

Search for

widget.gtk.native-emoji-dialog

and change it false

or you can create user.js in your mozilla profile directory

Find your profile directory by opening the following page in Firefox

about:support

Create the user.js file and add the following code and restart firefox

// disable emoji picker
user_pref("widget.gtk.native-emoji-dialog", false);

My install crashes on the lack of gsettings-schemas after crtl-period. Is it possible to disable this keyboard shortcut entirely?

You can install gsettings-schemas with the following command

sudo pkg install gsettings-desktop-schemas

Is it possible to disable this keyboard shortcut entirely

Im not sure if you can disable the keyboard shortcut

But you can disable the emoji picker

I don't need it for anything. Not running Gnome.

Firefox seemingly has a separate Emoji picker non-Windows?

On Windows (FF ESR 140) widget.gtk.native-emoji-dialog doesn't exist and Ctrl + .. doesn't do anything; WinKey + . displays a emoji picker but it seems Windows-native (can open the dialog in Firefox, Explorer windows, command prompt, Notepad). Apparently macOS has a native dialog (Hacker News)

I haven't pressed either key-combo before and didn't know there was something to pick emojis (usually just copy/pasted off Emojipedia)
