> On GNOME we already have a global shortcut for some emoji picker, I think it's Super + , or something

Actually, on most distros, the default keyboard shortcut for the emoji picker on GNOME/GTK is ctrl-. (same as the Firefox shortcut). This only works on apps that support it. Older Firefox versions did not support GNOME's emoji picker at all, but Firefox 150 supports GNOME's emoji picker using the expected keyboard shortcut.

Hmm, I wonder how new that is? Could be possible that my GNOME installation is old enough to predate that, and they didn't overwrite the config like Firefox did? Because I've been using Firefox + 1Password + GNOME for years, and for as long as I can remember, `ctrl + .` has opened 1Password dialogue in Firefox, and I'm not sure I've ever seen an Emoji picker in GNOME, although I know it exists somewhere.

For me, "Ctrl + ." was being used by two different extensions: Raindrop and Mult-account containers.

I deleted both of these shortcuts since neither were useful for me. I'd much rather have the Firefox emoji picker respond to "Ctrl + ." in the same way as other Gnome apps.
