Emojis missing in v6.6 Compose Email
-
G'day all.
Had a quick look for "emojis missing in v6.6 Mail" and no matches found.Recently updated to v6.6.3271.48 (Stable channel) (64-bit) from v6.1x
When in Compose Email mode in v6.1x I used to be able to right-click anywhere on the text area and a pop-up would appear.
At the top of that pop-up was a line 'Emoji & Symbol'.That is now not available in my installation of v6.6x.
BUT ...
When I go to edit contacts in v6.6, in the editing window, if I right-click in the editing space the pop-up has the line 'Emoji & Symbol'.
So that info is in Vivaldi, somewhere, but seems to be missing from the Email editor.
Have I missed something?
Is my installation faulty?
Have others found this to be a problem?Any help will be appreciated.
With thanks & best regards,

@OziIan3880 Windows key + . still works for me to insert emojis. I don't know what the pop-up line is. A screenshot would help.

Does the right-click work the same for you?

@OziIan3880 Likely Emoji was an available context menu entry for contacts which might be removed in 6.6 for some reason:
but yeah, win + dot key should work in any text field; just edit the name and add the emoji with the shortcut.

G'day Hadden89. Thanks for input.
I feel you maybe have this the wrong way around. What used to be available in v6.1 is now not available in v6.6 in the text compose screen.Your screen shot is pointing me in a direction I should not have to go. I am not a power user or Vivaldi guru. This is something that used to work for me (without having to go to creating(?) other commands) and now doesn't.
Pesala & Hadden89 - I appreciate your input, but why should I have to do keyboard commands to get the emoji screen THEN have to use the mouse to scroll and/or select an emoji?
Previously it was one click on the background, one click to select the emoji screen then select an emoji. Much simpler to my way of thinking.
AND ... why would one want to add an emoji to a contacts list? (Unless, of course, the list successfully sorts into some sensible order with an emoji at the start of the contacts.)
SO ... can either of you please verify that right click on the text compose background has no emoji selection line at the top of the pop-up AND also verify that the emoji line DOES appear when right-clicking on the edit panel of contacts.
As I said previously even right-clicking on this Forum reply screen brings up 'Emoji & Symbols' - try it and see if it does for you also.
I'm now thinking along the lines that this is a 'bug' that has slipped through in the update to v6.6 and I'll report it as such after some more feedback from the forum.
Anyway, thanks for your input, but I feel it doesn't solve the problem in my original post.
Best regards,
Ian BondEDIT I tried emojis at the start of a contact and, yes, it does sort differently by grouping identical emojis. Someone might want that feature, but not for me, though.
