I get that when I press enter on the emoji I want this one gets copied to my clipboard, would it be possible to go one step further and make the emoji be inserted in the current selected textbox (thus avoiding one CTRL+V)?

Completely off-topic and just for the fun, I'll leave some emoji suggestions that I got that were pretty interesting.

Here I wanted to write some "happy" emoji. Screenshot from 2020-09-06 19-55-39
