I find this behaviour surprising in a bad way. If I didn’t focus any similey in the popup, I want enter to insert a newline as usual, so I can just type without interruptions.

EDIT: I see this doesn’t happen when the character before the colon is a latin letter, but…

If I press enter now, it inserts the emoji.
