ISSUE: with the new emoji picker:

• Pressing enter, should add the first emoji of the list
• Pressing down should move me to the currently shown emojis and from there, I should be able to move around with the cursor and add the selected emoji with enter

It's because this functionality was never implemented 😁, I can take a look at this! This takes me back to the snake JS challenge 😅, @cdraeger11 unassigning you.
