... function in singleplayer and multiplayer. Why ? Because it would be a really nice feature to have, just having to hit my pause button on my keyboard when I am returning to the game from another task or when I get something to eat, without having to search the cursor.

Anything is better than what we have now. I like the idea of being able to do it all with the keyboard.

maybe as soon as you type the "[" the "emoji window" pops up and you can then tab to the search box.

... impossible to deduce, and there's usually not a wiki with it listed. I propose a button (and shortcut) that causes a popup like the Windows Emoji keyboard.
