2. hit Enter

Configuration

Windows
Version of Telegram Desktop:

Maybe an option to disable emoji replacement with Enter?

@Geobert Sorry, but this is a very common usecase — start typing and press "Enter" to select the first suggestion in the list. You can disable emoji suggestions in Settings.

The thing is that I use the suggestions, but having enter to complete feels weird. Tab is the usual key for completion (IRC, dev IDE…).
I understand that as it's already available, some ppl use it, hence the option to disable it, instead of totally removing it.

Just type two spaces after your emoji (:p) and press enter. =)

Yeah, I know the workaround, be it feels cumbersome :-/

Or even a dark art way to disable it is ok for me (like config file edition)

@john-preston can you clarify how this can be disabled? Using Telegram 5.4 (175009) Stable on macOS 10.14.5, the only option I see in Settings that appears to be related is "Automatically replace emojis", but toggling that has no affect on the emoji suggestions/replace.

@cdubz you are not using tdesktop, you are using the native MacOS app

Ack. Sorry for the noise! 🤦‍♂

Personally, I'd enable the suggestion on the second letter instead of the first: when I write ":not" I want the "notes emoji" almost for sure, but ":p" and ":P" and ":O" are too frequently used "as themselves" and needing the double space, or escape, _each and everytime_ they're used is really annoying.
