Access the emoji list using the Win + . shortcut

Copper Contributor

Is there a method, using tools like regedit, to create a shortcut that directly opens the full emoji list instead of just the most recently used emojis?

 

I primarily use emojis without any additional features like GIFs, so it can be a hassle to have to click the emoji list icon to access the full range of emojis. This is especially cumbersome since the recently used emojis are already present both in the separate emoji list and in the search function.

Place your cursor where you want to insert an emoji, such as in a text field or document.
Press the Win key along with the . (period) or ; (semicolon) key at the same time.
An emoji panel will appear on your screen, allowing you to browse and select from a variety of emojis.
One possible solution is to use a tool like AutoHotkey to create a custom script that simulates the process of opening the emoji panel with a shortcut that you define.
