I tested some key presses while emoji panel is open and has focus (clicked on).

List of unexpected behaviours, imo

key: alphanumerics / symbols current behaviour: first character not sent to input field, emoji panel closes suggested behaviour: first character is also sent to input field, emoji panel closes rationale: user expect all key presses are sent to input field

key: back space / delete current behaviour: character deleted, emoji panel closes suggested behaviour: character deleted, emoji panel stays open rationale: user may want to delete emoji(s) then click on another emoji to replace it

key: home / end / page up / page down current behaviour: cursor not moved, emoji panel closes suggested behaviour: cursor moved, emoji panel stays open rationale: should behave the same as arrow keys. user may want to continue adding more emoji at different positions.

key: shift + enter current behaviour: newline sent to input field, emoji panel closes suggested behaviour: newline sent to input field, emoji panel stays open rationale: adding newline should behave the same as adding space

key: caps lock / num lock current behaviour: locks mode changes, emoji panel closes suggested behaviour: locks mode changes, emoji panel stays open rationale: changing lock mode should not affect emoji panel?

List of correct behaviour, imo

key: spacebar current behaviour: space sent to input field, emoji panel stays open

key: arrow keys current behaviour: cursor moves, emoji panel stays open

Edit: formatting
