I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

    IIRC this feature used to only be available in English locale and needed a registry hack to enable it on other locales. That might not be the case anymore

      Works on German locale here out of the box now. (Win 10)

      But I also learned about this feature pretty recently.

      Super strange that something like this would be language specific, considering it’s all Unicode characters behind the scenes, the emojis anyway yeah?

      Sounds like maybe when they released the feature initially? Although I’m more thinking of the normal style of rollout where they trial a region first.
