MikeTO Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The Emoji & Symbols window works fine but if you type a replacement phrase that matches a valid character it runs into issues. We're supposed to be able to type "heart", choose Emoji & Symbols, and double-click a symbol in the popup suggestion window. Type a replacement phrase such as "heart" or "thumbs up" into a text frame. Do not enter a trailing space Choose Emoji & Symbols. Affinity will inset a duplicate copy of the replacement phrase and macOS will underline when showing the popup suggestion window: "heartheart" Double-click a symbol in the popup - Affinity will replace the duplicate copy so you'll be left with something like "heart❤️" And: Type a replacement phrase such as "heart" or "thumbs up" into a text frame. This time type a trailing space Choose Emoji & Symbols. The popup suggestion window will be shown. Double-click a symbol in the popup - Affinity will insert the emoji but you'll be left with the original replacement phrase, something like "heart ❤️" Quote Download a free manual for Publisher 2.3 from this forum - expanded 260-page PDF Affinity 2.3.1 for macOS Sonoma 14.3, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi @MikeTO, Are you referring to the new Sonoma-specific 'Add emoji as you type' feature here...

My 'guess' (and it's very much a guess) is that because the new predictive emoji feature is a Sonoma-specific feature (i.e., mirroring what iOS does), it's effectively 'not yet supported' in Affinity apps. However, I could equally be completely wrong about that... I'm sure someone in the moderation team will be able to enlighten us...
