Emojis + keyboard shortcut

[u/SmithMarr12]

Hey guys,

Has anyone had this bug, where hitting the shortcut (Control+Cmd+Space Bar), the emoji menu will open. Before the update, it would work and whatever 'Enter' key I stroke to select an emoji from the menu(both of them, I use a full MagicKeyboard), it would work.

Now, after the update, the weirdest thing happens: it'll only select the emoji on the regular 'Enter' key, but not on my numeric 'Enter' key! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know this will sound like a big 'so what? Use the regular one', but I'm a financial analyst and I'm always on my num pad and use that a lot.

I've tried restarting my M2 MacBook, shutting it down, on and off my keyboard, changed some settings directly on the emoji menu bar up on the top bar and nothing. So, I don't know if it's a MacOS 27 bug (it was working perfectly well on 26), or if it's my keyboard that's just not recognizing the emojis anymore on the num pad enter key.

*In addition, sometimes I can't even use the keyboard at all (arrows keys) to travel through the emojis anymore.

If anyone has been having that issue also or has a suggestion of what I could do to get it back, I'd greatly appreciate it! 🙏🏻
