After smashing my keyboard in frustration (gently!), a tiny lightbulb went off. My phone keyboard has shortcuts for emojis – type :laugh: or :wave:. Could I do something similar on my computer? Started digging online. No fancy guides, just random forum shouts. Saw mentions about the Windows emoji panel, but that felt like the same scrolling nightmare. https://kralmod.com/grab-emoji-shortcuts-how-to-save-time-finding-them/
