    Description

      Problem

      In linux emojis can be mapped to keyboard keys, for fast emoji typing, like

      xmodmap -e "keycode 49 = U1F44D U1F64F"

      https://github.com/Parveshdhull/emoji-keyboard

      But for some reason nothing is happening in text box when key is pressed, while it works everywhere.

      Other Testing

      I also tried keymapping using autokey. it doesn't have any issue with simple text, but emoji is creating problem.
      https://github.com/autokey/autokey

      autokey has many ways of automatic pasting. All failed in text boxed, except shift+insert.

      I don't know what text box is doing but after that autokey also freezes.
