Currently I assigned it to a keyboard shortcut win+. and used the command flatpak run io.github.vemonet.EmojiMart the app pops open but selection isn't being inserted in the text-field.

Hi @codernirdesh , assigning flatpak run io.github.vemonet.EmojiMart is the right way to go on Linux. Personally I have it set to Super + E

However, the app is not built to automatically put the text you highlighted in the search box (if I understand well that's what you are expecting?). You will need to write yourself to find the emoji you are looking for

I take note to look into it, maybe Tauri has APIs for that. But I would expect this might be a bit tricky to get it to work everywhere (it will probably be handled differently on x11 and wayland)
